Afghan elections are coming up in a couple of days. I have seen Pakistani elections up-close - from Musharaf's referendum that had deserted booths back in 2002 to the local bodies ones in which one of the polling booths was in my house. There's always a lot of bizarre stuff going on and you can't help but question the possibility of vote fraud at every step of the process with each political party/entity ensuring its presence and representation at the booths with their 'polling agents' holding the voters lists.
While fraud does take place, particularly in the local elections which are hotly contested, so far, Britney (aka 'Jamila' daugther of 'Lali') was never eager to take part in Pakistani elections. But she is apparently doing so in the upcoming Afghan ones. Will she vote for Karzai or the Abdullah Abdullah team?
