Electoral corruption has lost its romance

When I think of vote rigging and corrupt elections my imagination goes to shady men swapping anonymous black boxes or furiously ramming home wads of illegitimate crosses on paper. In the modern age it would appear the tedium of counting mountains of fake ballots  has been sidestepped - well at least in Azerbaijan, who appear to have published the results of their presidential election, before voting had even started. Current president, Ilham Aliyev was winning by a landslide, funny that.
