I don't get the results of this election. First, the election breaks out this way: the Shias got 48% of the total votes, the Kurds 25% of the total and the Saddam Sunnis 13.8%. That's 78% of the total votes. Where's the remaining 22%? Well there are the Turkmen but I think they combined with any smaller minorities only make up 3 or 4% of the population so there must be an error there somewhere. Hmm one error is yours. 48% + 25% + 13.8% = 86.8% not 78%. Add in the other minorities and you get something like 90% but still something is missing. I imagine one of your vote total % is in error. I got it the 48% figure is NOT the total for the Shia vote. Its the total for the largest Shia party (or technically alliance of parties). I think the 2nd largest Shia party got something like 10% of the vote. The Kurd vote if probably also the % for the Kurd alliance but they got most of the Kurdish vote so there is not much difference there. Tim
