For some reason, commission members climb stairs through a second-floor window with packages containing something resembling boxes. Or papers. And it's all under the watchful eye of the police. " Police forces, sometimes police vans, controlled numerous polling stations. Independent polls show that Tikhanovskaya received 71 percent of the vote, while Lukashenko received only 10 percent. So far, neither side's data can be independently verified. Sunday's election was not monitored by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) because it did not receive an invitation in time. - I will believe with my own eyes - the majority was for us - Svetlana Tihanovskaya told reporters on Monday, after extensive reports of vote-rigging in Sunday's elections. Tikhanovskaya said she considers herself the winner of the election, not Lukashenko.
