Ukrainian-Americans protested Ukraine vote fraud in St. Paul
I totally missed it. I wonder what the chances are they will turn out Sunday for the protest against U.S. vote fraud.

Ukrainian-Americans rally at Capitol (Nov. 29 story in the Daily)
Approximately 100 people gathered to protest an alleged fraudulent election.
By Emily Johns

Amid chants of “Free elections for Ukraine,” 100 Ukrainian-Americans gathered Sunday on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol to protest what they called the fraudulent presidential election Nov. 21 in Ukraine.

Thomas Whisen and Ukrainian citizen Yosyf Sheremeta, 27, waves a Ukrainian flag Sunday at the State Capitol in St. Paul during a rally held to show support for Ukrainian opposition presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko, who claims to have been cheated out of victory in elections Nov. 21.

Organized by members of Minnesota’s Ukrainian-American community, the protest came one day after the Ukrainian Parliament symbolically declared the country’s disputed presidential election invalid.

Alexandra Shayda Golovko, who protested the election at the Minnesota Capitol, said that some election officials took large bags of ballots into the streets and burned them on election day.
