Referendum on the Iraq Constitution
Iraqi officials checking ballots
http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/10/18/iraq.main/index.html
"Nine provinces dominated by Kurds or Shiite Arabs recorded "yes" votes higher than 95 percent, and in Anbar, a Sunni-dominated province, the total number of "no" votes exceeded the same percentage."
These results could actually be accurate. They illustrate just how fractured the country really is. Remember: the Kurds basically want to be their own country (the proposed Constitution gives them this autonomy), the Shiites want to rule the country and are the creators of the proposed Constitution, and the Sunni's don't want any of this.
