Calm Iraqi Election Marred as Thousands Were Denied Vote http://www.truthout.org/020109C Leila Fadel, McClatchy Newspapers: "Iraqis cast ballots in 14 of the country's 18 provinces Saturday, selecting among 14,500 candidates for 440 seats on new provincial councils. The day was free of election- related violence, but thousands of Iraqis were unable to vote because their names were inexplicably missing from voter lists. Some confused Iraqis even wandered neighborhoods looking for a polling place that would accept their vote."
