Election Day in Iraq

Jon sent this great report today:

"Today is the day the Sunni's have been waiting for. All their hopes are pinned on high voter turnouts so they can regain the political pre-eminence in areas with Sunni majority populations (about five provinces that since the last election in 2005 have been controlled by minority parties, in three of the provinces that has been Kurds, one of them Shia). This has the potential to be a pretty historic day, on which a truly representative election (it is expected that over 90% of Iraqis will vote) occurs that will solidify Iraq as a representative democracy. The only irony in the whole thing is that it could not be scheduled to take place on Bush's watch (so technically the "credit" goes to the current administration). As of the closing of the polls there have not been any reported attacks on polling sights thoughout Iraq. Jarhedjon"
