Afghan democracy update: More voters registered than actual voters



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Yesterday Bush had an interview with Rush Limbaugh where after he flipped and flooped around on the "we can't win the war on terror" line, he said the following:

Afghanistan, I don't know if you've discussed this on your program, but there are over ten million people who have registered to vote in Afghanistan, which is a phenomenal statistic when you think about it.
Perhaps what is truly a phenomenal statistic is that while the number of ten million is correct, the actual number of eligible voters is less than ten million, as Mathew Ygleysias is writing. Voter fraud seems to be running rampant in that democratic showcase that Bush is promoting. And Iraq? Tell us more Mr. President. We're looking forward to some proof that it is not the messy quagmire that we predicted.
