Niger runoff election today!

Voters in Niger choose their president today in a run-off election!

Unlike in Benin, this one has an incumbent running, and there have been some troubling events, including the jailing of a major opposition candidate.

See my previous posts and some great posts by Lisa Mueller at the Monkey Cage for details!

UPDATE: The incumbent wins in a landslide, with 92 percent.
