Now CNN is saying (on TV) that the 72% turnout statistic wasn't based on actual voting rolls but on "human flow" through the polling places. I'm not even sure what that means.
ALSO: By 72%, no one means three-fourths of all 25 million Iraqis. The election commission guesses that about 8 million people turned out. That may amount to three-fourths of all registered voters, but it's no more than a quarter of everyone in Iraq.
