I think this was predictable. I think that some of the abuses that were expected took place and some (thankfully) did not. I do not like the impropriety of Khalilzad visiting a candidate leading up to the vote. Does cast a pall over the event. In all it sounds like the election went well and the people were exited about a chance to participate in democracy, no matter how twisted the version is. I still wanna know how the women were able to vote wearing the beekeeper suit??? Will this be a new trend in democracy? WEAR the voting booth to the polling station???
