"The target date of June now appears out of reach," he said. "That's the news of today,
given the rate of registration so far and the continuing security concerns."

Mr. Eckhard says registration is proceeding in Afghanistan's eight main cities. But
dangerous conditions make it impossible for voter outreach teams to travel to rural
areas.

Of 10 million eligible voters, fewer than 275,000 have signed up.

The spokesman also expressed concern about the relatively small number of women
among those registering.

Kennedy to Johnson, " what seems to be the problem out there Lyndon"

Johnson " Well they are afraid that if they have to have the elections now they will Lose "

Yes everyone is for democracy as long as those pesky little people vote for the right person.

Thank goodness the rich people own the vote counting machines now & don't have to worry about who the fodder units vote for.
