More On Ninevah
The initial report out of Ninevah was:
These numbers were laughable given the demographics of this province.
The numbers have now dramatically changed in this latest report from Juan Cole in which an election official has given the count as a total of 778,000 votes cast with 442,000 for "no" and 353,000 for "yes." This leaves a 57% no vote which still achieves the goal of the electoral officials of saving the Constitution from veto.
However, given the now obviously fraudulent initial numbers, who is going to believe the election officials? Who is not going to believe that they are simply looking for a more sophisticated lie?
