How are the Iraqi election ballots going to be counted?

[dewaldd]

Are they going to hand-count them, or will our great rules give them electronic voting machines like they did in Venezuela?

Do you think the Iraqis will trust election results that were fed to them from an American-built machine?

I hope that they have more sense than the majority of Americans.

2. No need to count them

The outcome has alread been determined in the basement of the White House.

3. I really don't see how it will matter. if one of the mullah's isn't electe

elected as president, that place is going to go up in flames. of course I could be wrong, but I just don't see folks over there all falling down for allawi, or chalabi.

4. Also, when will the recount start? I'm sure the exit polls will be wrong.

Edited to add:
Oh yeah, this isn't the U.S.A. were talking about. The exit polls will be right, and there will be a revote.

5. Well, I guess it just depends on who

Shrubya wants in there.

Whatever works to the admin's best advantage.

7. Try this link for starters

I also read that a Congressman/woman had succeeded in stopping the CIA from interfering in the Iraqi vote. Can't find the link, but you can bet that Porter Goss has got that rolling again.

Also, there was also something that said that the electoral a system they have installed, was done on purpose to favor the big American backed parties. Apparently Allawi has become so unpopular that he is considered a liability, however Ahmed Chalbi is back on track and on the ballot as well.

8. How much will Halliburton ask to do the Exit Polls?
