There have been more voting violations claimed in this Iraqi election than ever before, 1,000. The Sunnis are the main source of the insurgency and they're not pleased. Link below; my emphasis.
"Sunni Arabs alleged Tuesday that last week's parliamentary elections were fraudulent, especially in Baghdad province, and they said if the irregularities are not corrected, new balloting must be held in Iraq's largest electoral district."
"The Sunni officials registering complaints about the vote concentrated their protests on results from Baghdad province, the biggest electoral district.
"It was obvious to us that the forgery and the falsification have been taking place even before the opening of the ballot boxes," the Iraqi Accordance Front said.
The group said it considered the results "a falsification of the will of the people."
If no measures are taken, "we will demand that the elections be held again in Baghdad," said Adnan al-Dulaimi, head of the Sunni alliance. "If this demand is not met, then we will resort to other measures."
