At the days following the election, many people and I are very optimistic that there will be deviation to the political processes instead of armed confrontations. This was because of the easiness and peaceful ballot. But it lasted for no more than two days, then the explosions and the clashes started again. You know why? ... I will tell you … I know.
Seven days since the election, every new day we hear news of frauds in the process of voting. There are more than 1250 claims of illegal and cheating acts during the process of voting. All the cheating are done by the militias of the puppet government, (the Badr militia in the middle and the south and the Peshmerga in the north), both are supported by the current government. Many of the complaint are really serious
At Tuesday 20, they announced primary results of the vote; the results are disappointing to all that shared in the election except the United Iraqi Alliance, and the Kurdish alliance. And since then, the tension come back to Iraq, there are demonstrations daily in many of the Iraqi provinces refusing those results and demanding of rerun the ballot
More than 35 fronts and parties reject the results announced by the Electoral commission, including the list of former premier Iyad Allawi
The government from its side, and to camouflage the chaos, announced an increase in the prices of oil products, The Gasoline, the Kerosene and the Diesel fuels. The increase is varying from 5 to 11 folds.
There are two kind of angry demonstrations one against the election's results and the other against the increase in the prices of the oil products

I wrote this post before two days, but can't publsh it because of problem with the internet connection.
So it is Nine days since the election, not seven.
It seems to a problem with the comments moderation.
I received an e-mail from Mister Ghost saying:
"Dr Truth Teller,
I tried to leave the below comment at your Fraud Fraud...
post, but it kept asking me for a new secret word - there may be
a few glitches in the comments moderation."
The comment:
"What percentage change in the vote, do you think the fraud affected? Nibras
Kazini, the best political analyst in the Iraqi Blogosphere, says the Shia gave
themselves an extra 10 percent
in the south from 75 to 85.
Another factor to conside Doctor TT is perhaps the Sunni population in Iraq
isn't as large as originally estimated, and that is why, the Shia list achieved
such a landslide.
So, it may be a factor of demographics more than voting irregulaties.
Best.

I can't think in any numbers or percentages, but the fraud was so extensive to a degree that the number of paper in the ballot in one of the cities was 500000 paper more than the number of registered people. If you consider that about 60-70% of the registered people are going to vote. you can estimate the extent of the fraud.
Another factor to conside Doctor TT is perhaps the Sunni population in Iraq isn't as large as originally estimated, and that is why, the Shia list achieved such a landslide.
So, it may be a factor of demographics more than voting irregulaties.
No, the cause is , in most of Sunni areas, people are prevented from voting either by supplying false lists of names, so when they came to vote they can't found their names and so prevented from voting. or the centers are opened few hour before the closing time and their was no enough time to allow all the people to vote. Some area didn't receive the voting boxes at all.
This happened only in the Sunni areas.
Good read.

This is really appaling. This is not a fair and democratic election. As if it was moulded to a wanted result.
May Allah be with you and your family.
cool blog
nice to hear a more qualified judgement

"The current government is not a US puppet government"
I agree with you, it is not a US puppet government. But it is an Iran puppet government. It is a puppet government any way.
