Putin wins Russian election - "the most dishonest election in the history of modern Russia”?

I have some Russian friends, and they agree with this point of view, I’m not so sure.. I think it’s more a question of there not being a lot of choice (who else to vote for?) “United Russia had won 64.1 percent of votes, nearly six times as many as the nearest challenger, the Communist party.”

What do you think? Were there "irregularietes" or was everything democratic and fair?
