I didn't say "Iraqi absentee voting botths in the US?"

I said "Iraqi absentee voting boths in Tennessee?"

Really, that's a pretty bad place to place an IRAQI ABSENTEE VOTING BOOTH.

I heard on the news that 15,000 Iraqis have registered to vote over here. They expect about 4,000 of them to really turn up.

^ Despite that seeming like a low percentage, the people over there are, according to pre-polls, supposed to turn out with 60-80% voter turnout. That beats our most recent election.

Reason: They've got a stake in it...
