An all-too-familiar pattern at the BG, sorry to say.
"Afghan presidential challenger wants results held" by Heidi Vogt, Associated Press Writer | September 5, 2009
KABUL --The leading challenger in Afghanistan's presidential vote urged electoral officials Saturday to stop announcing preliminary results because of "highly suspicious numbers" in tallies released so far.
Results from the Aug. 20 election have been dribbling out alongside a torrent of complaints of ballot box stuffing and voter intimidation. International and Afghan observers have been critical of the vote but have held back judgment until counting and fraud investigations have finished....
That's because AFGHANISTAN'S U.S. PUPPET Karzai is not named Ahmadinejad and he's not the legitimate leader of Iran. Otherwise, the U.S would be squawking, right?
In eastern Paktika province, six polling centers showed hundreds of votes for Karzai, with none for any other candidate, Abdullah noted. Karzai has strong support in the province, where the majority of people belong to his Pashtun ethnic group, but Abdullah said it was highly unlikely that not a single person cast a ballot for one of the more than 30 other candidates.
Not only that, but EVEN the PASHTUNS are HOLLERING FRAUD by Karzai!

Afghanistan's Election Returns
The latest countrywide results released Thursday show Karzai with 47 percent and Abdullah running second with 33 percent....
Karzai getting ever closer to that magic number of 50% to avoid a runoff, 'eh?
Voting day itself was marred by Taliban attacks that killed dozens. Turnout was low amid the violence and threats of recrimination against voters.
