Iraqis Probe 'Unusually High' Yes Tally
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051018/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq -
Iraq's election commission announced Monday that officials were investigating "unusually high" numbers of "yes" votes in about a dozen provinces during Iraq's landmark referendum on a new constitution, raising questions about irregularities in the balloting.

Word of the review came as Sunni Arab leaders repeated accusations of fraud after initial reports from the provinces suggested the constitution had passed. Among the Sunni allegations are that police took ballot boxes from heavily "no" districts, and that some "yes" areas had more votes than registered voters

I'll bet you didn't know that they were using Diebold in Iraq

3. I saw an Iraqi on TV vote seven times (7 ballots for yes)
Wonder how many more like him did the same?
