Like hell it's misleading. There's not one word in the thread title about foul play. Furthermore, an election which is incapable of allowing
tens of thousands to cast their votes is fundamentally flawed by its very nature. There doesn't have to be intentional corruption for an election to be worthless. When the election doesn't have the ability to record the votes of tens of thousands of people, how can you POSSIBLY call that a valid election? When you've got more than 200 candidates, tens of thousands of votes can DEFINITELY give you a different outcome.
But then, you're not the only person on this thread who doesn't give a damn that Iraqis were denied their voting rights in huge numbers. Fact is, the more I talk to people about this the more I see that a lot of folks out there really don't care if an enormous number of Iraqis were robbed of their right to vote. All they care about is spinning the election for Bush's political gain.
