Elections trivia

Prime Time, is a popular political talk show led by a former Imedi TV journalist Inga Grigolia. Two days ago, its guest was the incumbent Mikheil Saakashvili, who talked much about his plans, mistakes, the brilliance of the elections, etc.
In the beginning of the show, a relevant question is posted and the audience votes during the show. A hypothetical example: “Do you think the person interviewed is lying?” a. Yes b. No c. Maybe — public sends sms-es and in the end a general opinion poll is presented. 55% think he is a liar.
So, one would expect a relevant question during Saakashvili’s interview. Such as “Do you think the elections were fraudulent”?
But, of course, why ask the right question when you can ask something else. The question was: “Did you go to the elections?”.
Useful. Insightful. Brainstorming.

It’s aired on Rustavi 2. Apart from Imedi TV, which is closed and Kavkasia, which airs in Tbilisi only, all channels are sympathetic to Saakashvili.
