Thousands Expected At Iraq Elections In Southgate

Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 08:09 PM by Ruby Romaine

SOUTHGATE, Mich. -- Some Iraqi-Americans in Michigan expressed disappointment Friday with the site selected for them to register and vote in Iraq's elections but said they'll do their best to get people to the polls.

Joseph Kassab, president of the Chaldean National Congress and a resident of Farmington Hills, said many Chaldeans live 40 to 50 miles from the site, a building in Southgate owned by Wayne County.

How very interesting-the voting is not being held where most of the Iraqi Community (80,000) lives!
