Voters have to dip their finger in ink is to guard against multiple voting.
CNN reported today that results of Iraq's election from the 33,000 polling stations "probably won't be available for two weeks or more."
An estimated 10 million of the 15 million registered voters voted, and the turnout was so strong in some parts that election officials gave permission to keep polls open one hour longer than the 5 p.m. closing time. Even in Falluja, polling places ran out of ballots which election workers replenished.
And listen to this: "In Ramadi, local clerics used mosque sound systems, usually reserved for calls to prayer, to urge people to vote....In the eastern Ramadi neighborhood of Sufiya, candy was handed out as people came to vote."
We are watching history in the making, due in great part because of our brave men and women of our military there.
