Ali from Free Iraqi had some thoughts before he went to vote:

…
I fear only one thing and that is that only small percentage of Iraqis vote. I hope and expect the opposite but as I said before everyone has been speaking on behalf of Iraqis for a long time and therfore it’s very difficult to tell what they are going to do. I trust that my people want freedom and democracy but I fear that it’s the difficult security that may keep them inside their houses. This is all my concerns now about the elections and I hope that the majority of Iraqis overcome their fears and say their word, and then all the reporters, experts, activists and politicians can do is listen.

I hope there isn’t much spin going on after today. I can only see this one way, and that is positively.

Still nothing from his brothers at Iraq the Model, but I expect that if Ali has voted, then they have as well.
