Reuters has a news story on the contested presidential election results in Romania. One of the major bones of contention between the Social Democratic Party and incumbent President Traian Basescu, who won the election by a very narrow margin, is the diaspora vote. The Social Democrats are claiming that Mr. Basescu stole the vote there.
Most Romanians living abroad voted for Mr. Basescu. In Moldova, the incumbent head of state won 95 percent of the votes cast.
The Reuters story mentions Moldova in the article, suggesting that Mr. Basescu's victory could in part be explained because he "has offered passports to hundreds of thousands of Romanian speakers."
