    I doubt many rules based order people consider the election democratic, it was widely reported in MSM that there was a ton of vote buying, etc.

    The European Union, NATO and the United States have demanded a full investigation into reports of vote-buying, voter intimidation and ballot stuffing raised by monitors from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and other bodies.

      That’s them doing the color revolution part, it was democratic by the procedural standards they apply to every other election which they like, fraud allegations whether baseless or not don’t usually lead into denying the results.

        Do you mean the president of Georgia denying the results? or the US and EU etc.

          Both, I don’t think it even needs to be a coordinated thing, if the president is against the incumbent government and throws a fit that’s fine, it’s the fact that the west is legitimating that fit instead of letting things play out that’s the color revolution part.

            That makes sense, If I were to guess I don’t think these protests will go anywhere, but we’ll see what happens
