Russia - Tougher laws for 2012 election law requiring two webcams, a computer, modem & UPS for online monitoring

http://www.euronews.net/ March's presidential elections will have much stronger checks and balances at polling stations than before, with a law requiring two webcams, a computer, modem and UPS for online monitoring of the vote at each polling station.

Some are calling it the 'virtualisation' of the election, with officials reading out results to camera in order to minimise disputes in an operation that is costing nearly half a billion euros.
