Protesting Election Irregularities
by TChris
Voting irregularities in the United States during the last two presidential elections produced angry commentary but little action. Not so in Iraq, where disenfranchised voters took to the streets.
Hundreds of Iraqis shouted slogans and waved Iraqi flags Sunday outside Baghdad's heavily guarded Green Zone to protest alleged irregularities they say prevented tens of thousands of people in Mosul from voting in last weekend's landmark elections. ... Electoral commission officials in Baghdad have acknowledged that many polling sites never opened Jan. 30 or opened late because of what they said were security concerns.
