Everyone but Karzai Boycotts Afghan Election

[FS]

Well, if it's been so long since you even had elections, when something goes wrong you're probably just gonna say "psh. Nothing's changed." and go home again.

The thing with the ink was that the method of making sure someone doesn't vote twice was to mark one of their fingers with a black marker. I take it Afghanistan doesn't have registered voting. I saw a journalist, after listening to some stories of people who'd voted, go in to have his finger inked, and then outside remove it fairly easily with some spit and a tissue.
