here's some of the things that I have seen. Do we have proof of these?

1) US voters had to travel to one of five stations in the US. They should have been able to cast a mail in vote or cast at their local elections.

2) Though it is reported that up to 70% voted, we know that is purposely misleading. At best we have 70% of the 10 % that were registered which is 7% of the country. Do we know that only 10% were registered?

3) The registered voters were actually the people who were on the list for food? Does this mean that they were registered like it or not?

4) These same people were given their food if they voted only? Is that correct or no?

5) The ballots listed over 4000 candidates by number only, so no one really knew who they were voting for? True or no?

6) People were instructed who to vote for and did so accordingly.

7) Though lauded as a remarkable day, over 175 attacks were recorded.

8) Obviously if one whole group of people (sunni, shites, kerds) did not vote at all, no lasting solution can be found. All three major groups must be represented in any new gov.

ok, please include links if you have them to prove or disprove these statements and add your own to the list.
