Voting Equipment Shows Bush Lead in Iraqi Elections
BAGHDAD--Iraqi election officials voiced concern today when early tests of voting equipment spontaneously recorded over 4,000 votes for President Bush in a province with only 2,000 residents.
According to eyewitness accounts, when electronic voting machines were turned on at 8:00am on Monday morning, several had already logged hundreds of votes for Bush. By noon, votes for Bush measured in the thousands.
"While I'm not accusing anyone of any wrongdoing, I have a hard time believing that 4,000 Iraqis would vote for the white devil and Great Satan George W. Bush," said election commissioner Ayad Abdul-Hussein. "Especially since that was 2,000 more votes than were logged for Senator John Kerry."
The White House responded to the voting irregularity by saying that it was simply the result of an electronic glitch that could not be explained or recreated under laboratory conditions. However, the administration said that if Bush does in fact win the Iraqi election, he would view it as a mandate to replace the country's ethnic rivalries with class warfare.
