"I talked briefly to one of my friends in Baghdad working with the UN, and he was furious about the latest "definitions" of the word "voter" by the lame Iraqi parliament.
The parliament decided to identify "voter" in two different ways to make it mathematically almost impossible to reject the destructive US-supported constitution.
In the new definitions, if a governorate of 1,500,001 adults who can vote had one million of them actually going to the election polls, and all of the one million saying NO, their voices won't count as a NO, so their governorate will be a YES governorate because rejecting the constitution in one governorate requires a NO from more than two thirds of the governorate registered voters (i.e. all eligible voters in the governorate: all adults who - "used to" - recieve the monthly food rations).
In the same governorate of the 1,500,001 adults, if 10 people went to vote and five of them said YES, their entire governorate will be considered as a YES governorate, because accepting the constitution in a governorate requires a YEs from half of the actual voters (i.e. people who actually go to vote regardless of their ratio to the total number of eligable voters)
What kind of elections is this?
why don't they only put a YES option and make it easier?"
