Ukraine Election Take Two

Ukraine's Supreme Court has apparently just ruled that the results from the previous vote are invalid and a new election must be held. They're also mandating that the election must be a repeat of last month's, with the same two candidates. I have no idea the legality of this move, but it's an interesting development just the same. Perhaps they're moving to try to avoid the potential economic meltdown that it appears is imminent unless the situation is resolved. Or they might just believe that freedom to choose your leaders is important enough. Either way, it will interesting to see what Putin has to say about it.
