Iraqi Election...
(I did have more written, but then the window froze and I lost everything)
The Iraqi election was held over the weekend. There was about a 60% voter turnout, despite the threat of death from suicide bombers. In fact, 44 civilians were killed on election day. It's interesting that more Iraqis turned out to vote, than did Americans in their last federal election. Hmmmm...
Also of note, there were 7,761 candidates on the Iraqi ballot, vying for 275 seats. Imagine trying to find your one candidate, and then having to count all those ballots!
