Zimbabwe vote 'not free and fair'
Human Rights Watch says widespread violence in Zimbabwe makes a free and fair presidential run-off impossible.
Update: Zimbabwe is still not a legitimate democracy, perhaps most similar our own hemispheric problem countries Cuba and Venezuela. Sure they have an election, but it's staged and the choices aren't legitimate.

You could argue that the 2004 election was rigged also ;)
I'm just being facetious... :P
I'm going to be watching Zimbabwe for a few months, kinda like my little side project on Kosovo. I want to see if the people there grab on to democracy, or revert to totalitarianism like most of Africa
