107 percent turnout? Another side to Russia's vote

Results from a war-torn Russian republic shed light on probable irregularities in the election that secured Vladimir Putin his third term as president on Sunday, according to a correspondent with NBC News' British partner ITV News.

The prime minister – who previously served twice as the country's president – won with almost 64 percent of the vote over the weekend.

But he won 99.82 percent of the vote in Chechnya on Sunday, ITV's Bill Neely writes in his blog on Tuesday.

"It's remarkable, because Putin attacked Chechnya twice in appallingly brutal wars with its separatists, wars marked by massacre and murder. All that is clearly blood under the carpet."
