" Karzai 'stripped of outright win"

Recently, there was an election in afghanistan and there has been enough evidence and suspicion to believe that there was shady activity going on. Up to 210 polling stations were deducted from his total score. Mr Karzai made no immediate response but later responded as to say that he won the election fair in square. EU observers stated however, that 1 in 4 votes cast were suspicious. The Afghan president then went on to say that a victory was robbed from him and that he is threatening to stop an attempt to hold a 2nd round. Acts like these justifies that it is very possible and simple to cheat or rig an election. This kind of thing makes me wonder if our government was chosen this way when it was George W. Bush running for president. There were many rumors about him rigging the election and i always had my doubts, but now that this man had completed his plan and got caught it could be a very real possibility. I wondered why a man who drove us to debt would be re elected by the citizens of America. There could have possibly been corruption just like in this election in Afghanistan.
