Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Ukraine's Supreme Court threw out the results of last month's presidential election that showed Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych beat Viktor Yushchenko and called for a new runoff to be held no later than Dec. 26.

The court ruled the original election was riddled with fraud after hearing evidence for almost five days. Under Ukrainian law, a new vote must be held no later than three weeks from Dec. 5.

Hundreds of thousands of Yushchenko supporters have staged protests for the past 10 days, demanding he be allowed to take office and the Nov. 21 runoff vote be held again. News of the decision was greeted with a fireworks display among his supporters.

5. Well i wouldn't go that far

Ihave seen several different videos of people being beaten by police tear gassed etc etc to keep them away from the polls. The international community has bonafide verifiable proof. We do not as of yet, if we did it would be a slam dunk
