- Zikes 13y agoBecause it was probably presented to senior politicians prior to being released, and they'd want to see "optimistic" test data.
- icambron 13y agoYeah, it would look subversive on the part the developer. Not a good career move in the best of circumstances, which these are clearly not. I could definitely see this happening with the developer's best intentions, and not as part of a rigging conspiracy. None of that is to say that Azerbaijan's democracy isn't largely fake or that the elections are not, in fact, rigged; it's just that this particular mistake may not an expression of it.

- johnmacintyre 13y agoBecause the developer is afraid to even suggest he wouldn't win by a landslide?
