  • 06 DECEMBER 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: Supporters of Donald Trump cheer during a rally protesting the outcome of the US election. About 1,000 supporters of outgoing US President Donald Trump rallied in Des Moines Sunday to show their support for the President and to protest the outcome of the US Presidential election. They started with a rally in the suburbs of Des Moines then drove in a motorcade through the city, ending at the State Capitol. They repeated many of Trump's discredited claims that the election was marked by fraud and that Trump actually won. The protest was a part of the national "March for Trump" effort, culminating in a march in Washington DC on December 13. Joe Biden won the election, with 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232.

  • 01 FEBRUARY 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Thai voter confronts an election worker with his ID card. The man was told he couldn't vote because protestors had blocked the polls. Thais went to the polls in a "snap election" Sunday called in December after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved the parliament in the face of large anti-government protests in Bangkok. The anti-government opposition, led by the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), called for a boycott of the election and threatened to disrupt voting. Many polling places in Bangkok were closed by protestors who blocked access to the polls or distribution of ballots. The result of the election are likely to be contested in the Thai Constitutional Court and may be invalidated because there won't be quorum in the Thai parliament.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
