#1 Seems to me the easiest way to solve the division of oil wealth would be to conduct a censuss and divide up the wealth evenly.

#2 and that some "yes" areas had more votes than registered voters.

This is only allowed in leftest / socialists areas (such as King County Washington, USA...).

#3 CF, True enough but there are some qualifications, such as being a convicted felon or Dead. I did not add that you ust be a Democrat because that would be redundant.

#4 As someone pointed out on The Corner, the Iraqis are checking this themselves, without being forced. How many recounts do you think Saddam's 98+% wins got?

I'll also point out that the accusations appear to be rather thin on proof. At this time we have more evidence of Democrat vote fraud in the 2004 election than we have of any fraud in Iraq.

#5 In this case having more votes than voters in an area may actually be ok. One late concession by the authorities was to allow residents from some dangerous areas to vote from somewhere safer. People who wanted to vote 'yes' might have felt especially at risk and gone elsewhere.
