Commission Finds Irregularities in Iraqi Voter Registration

BAGHDAD, Iraq,
Dec. 11 – With just four days to go until parliamentary elections, the
Iraqi electoral commission said today that it had found irregularities
in voter registration in the volatile northern oil city of Kirkuk.

They must be kidding me, no? Irregularities in ONE city? I can
give them a whole country. Maybe even a few hundred cities, or a few hundred
thousand names. How about the Maisanta software? Except that Quico says
he knows him, I would be starting to believe that NTT reporter Forero does not
exist, has never been to Venezuela and has no clue about our elections.
Is this the same paper that said five days ago that the Venezuelan election was clean and
never reported on the OAS and EU observers sharp criticism of the vote?
