I need a link about the percentage of Iraqis who turned out today.

I read it was 72% of registered voters, and only 10% of Iraqis were registered to vote. But I couldn't find a link in that post. Is there a link to verify this information?

1. Whatever articles you find and read...

None of them will probably be accurate. There's just too much riding on this election both for the right wingers and the progressives.

2. That number has already been retracted.

It was a meaningless estimate not based on actual numbers.

3. OK, but is there a link regarding the 72% of 10% information?

Here's the DU thread which initially stated this:

4. reuters references the 72% claim here

and basically admits they are pulling numbers out of their butts.
