Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital, for the second day in a row on Nov. 4 to protest the results of a parliamentary election won by the country’s ruling Georgian Dream party.

Protesters claim that the party rigged the Oct. 26 election, in which Georgian Dream won 54 percent of the vote, according to the country’s electoral commission.
