Leaders Say All of Iraq May Not Vote
By SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's vice president conceded Saturday that voting might not be possible in all parts of the country when elections are held in in January.

Vice President Barham Saleh told The Associated Press that authorities are adamant that insurgents will not derail efforts to hold elections on time.

"Hypothetically, if you have a location in which the security situation is not conducive to holding elections ... then you end up with the question, Shall we delay or hold the entire process hostage to that particular district? " he said during an interview in his Baghdad office. "That will be a bridge that we will have to cross when we come to it."

The issue of bypassing the vote in some areas where violence is heaviest has been debated in recent days.

Prime Minister Ayad Allawi insisted that the vote will be held throughout the country amid concern that some areas in Iraq may be inaccessible to voters due to the insurgency.

2. Just like Florida

The election here needs to be delayed because of the hurricanes not everyone can vote. Some people may be displaced. How do we delay it.
I am jocking around but I am not an expert on these things if you think people can't vote lets delay the election or we are just like Iraq.
