If anyone can figure out what’s going on in Afghanistan’s elections, let me know. From what I can piece together, all the candidates withdrew, claiming fraud, except Karzai. The US bombed some “suspected Taliban militants” killing 25 people in southern Afghanistan, and voting hours were extended because “thousands” of Afghans were still in line when voting was supposed to end. No polling places exploded, and only a few were rocketed.
I suppose it’s safe to call this one for Karzai, since he’s the only candidate. It should at least be amusing to see how many votes were cast, out of the 10+ million registered voters (out of a pool of 9 million eligible voters) in Afghanistan.
