Election Violence

The U.S. is not the only nation where heated elections took place in the past year. I know we've still got more to endure, but even with all the negativity surrounding the primaries, we can be thankful that we are not as unfortunate as the following countries:

Zimbabwe - The government is blocking humantarian aid until the end of the election because of perceived political ties.
Kenya - Violence escalated after disputed election reults.
Sri Lanka - Violent attacks follow accusations of vote tampering.

There are probably more, not covered by international media.
