Excerpts; link below; my emphasis.
"As the ballots in Iraq's landmark referendum on a new constitution were dispatched yesterday to Baghdad for an official tally, disputes erupted over the likely result, and the U.S. military reported the deaths of six troops on the day of what was otherwise a relatively peaceful vote.
In London, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told reporters that early indications suggested that the constitution had "probably passed," provoking a storm of outrage from Sunni Arab leaders who seized on her words as evidence that the result had been fixed."
"Election administrators said that the official count of the ballots won't begin until today and that a result is still days away. "There is no result, and the figures you see reported in the media are wrong," said Farid Ayar, spokesman for the Independent Electoral Commission for Iraq."
--Where's Carl Rove? This bunch apparently can't stage a teleconference or steal an election without Rove---
