Friday cat blogging - with a difference

Lisel Hintz has written an excellent piece on the widespread electoral fraud in the Turkish municipal elections for the Washington Post. The vote rigging is unprecedented in a usually clean electoral process. Hintz suggests reasons why it was different this time round.

Among the ingenious excuses coming from the government is the one that a highly convenient power outage that stopped vote counting was caused by a cat. Inevitably, a meme has resulted. The internet is a great device for mockery and when cats are involved, it will take off.
