Peter Ordeshook passed along this link, with additional details regarding the Shpilkin analysis of election fraud in the recent Russian Elections: “Dmitri Medvedev votes were rigged, says computer boffin”, from TimesOnline. The working paper by Ordeshook and Myagkov, “Russian Elections: An Oxymoron of Democracy” were apparently also discussed at the same seminar where Shpilkin presented his work.
