Somebody answer me this please

I think there are 14 million iraqis registered to vote...

First it was 72% turnout, then they said 8 million voted (57%)... whatever the figure.

My question is - How can 8 million people vote in 5000 polling stations? It makes 1600 voters per polling station. And there were reports for polling stations being closed for the most of the day or not opened at all.

It means 150 voters per hour per station. This is just impossible. Even 30 voters per hour is doubtful, let alone 150.. Something is fishy here.

1. The something fishy is that they are lying.

Plain and simple. The bush administration is lying, the bush puppet government in Iraq is going along with the lie and the US media is going along with the lie.

Lies, lies, lies. You are right--there is no way that's true.

2. You aren't supposed to be

questioning the numbers or thinking it through! Really this is what they count on, people hear it and that's what they believe. Now the onus is on those who question to prove it was wrong.

3. Baloney, we had 1800 people vote at our polling place in Nov.

That was the total for 6 machines/ 2 precincts.
