ბლოგი Georgian Election | ODIHR Preliminary Report and its Percentages
So the preliminary report on yesterday's Parliamentary Elections which ODIHR has just released again notes that the count had problems.

ბლოგი Diaspora Internet Presence | Switzerland and Germany
One way of tracking how organised migrants abroad are is simple -- just check the web.

ბლოგი Diversity Polling on the Caucasus | Ask500
Sometimes it's worth clicking on those Gmail links. "Ask 500" is a website in beta, the web version of a straw poll. Polling? Surveys? Obviously I wanted to know more. To say it up front: it's about as unrepresentative as you can get, since it assembles those that suffer from terminal curiosity.

ბლოგი Exit Polls | Take Two
Readers may recall that we voiced some concern with regards to exit polls. Here is a fascinating account, first-hand, by a reputed pollster having what they describe as an "Adventure in Baku". It is a salutary tale, and again shows that exit polls are not the quick fix they often are believed to be -- even when organisations such as& ...
