Expatriot Iraqis voting in the election in Iraq. |
|
Has any other election in history been conducted in this manner? I don't recall any. Do we not trust Iraqis living in that nation to be able to select their leaders? I could see if these expatriots would return to live there being allowed to vote, but I do have a problem with people who have lived for decades abroad being allowed to vote.

1. How Do They Manage This Vote?........ |
|
How do they get the ballots to the right people? How do they verify this? How are these counted? Come on - if we are Diebold here in the U.S. - does anyone really believe that an expatriot Iraqi vote is legitimate?

2. I don't know the nuts and bolts, but they did this the last election |
|
they had. They had centers in the US where people could go to vote. I remember hearing it on NPR--one was in Nashville, I recall. So is every election going to be this way? Is this one way we make sure that Iraq selects governments we want? We select the candidates and vote for them too?
