Fayrouz Hancock of Live From Dallas posts about over 100,000 villagers who did not receive voting materials in the elections this past Sunday. For fear of this post being way too long, just go to the link and check it out. There are several updates to the situation.

During the last two days, I’ve been following the news of the Christian villages in Mosul that didn’t get the chance to vote. The real reason is still unclear. There are 100,000 eligible voters in those villages. Those voters are disappointed by not being able to vote. I don’t blame them.

I’m glad to see people protesting to gain their right to vote. It means they really want a better future. It means they really believe in the baby democratic process that’s been growing slowly in Iraq.

During Saddam’s era, nobody cared about the elections. The results were known to everyone before any vote was cast. Now, you hear Iraqis say, “If we don’t like this government, we’ll change it during the next election.” That quote really impressed me. Wow, we’re learning the rules of democracy very quick, aren’t we?
