Greatest Mideast Election Fraud? Get real!

The Sunnis and secular Shiites in Iraq are now claiming that the December 15 election was the greatest election fraud in the history of the Mideast. Really? What about the final election under Saddam, in which he got nearly 100% of the vote, in a process run by the same people who are now protesting.

Or Egypt? Where people were gunned down for trying to get to polling places. And where the main opposition leader has been jailed.

The story notes that:

Nur spent most of time in court instead of campaigning and lost his seat in his Bab Al-Shaaria stronghold in the first round.

"They announced my defeat on public television half an hour before the counting had even started," he said in an earlier interview.

Worst fraud in the history of the mideast? That's a rather high standard. This wouldn't even qualify as the worst election fraud in Patterson, New Jersey.
