From the front page of the Raleigh News and Oberver:
Iraqi expatriate Benjamin Nissan, a beautician who
said he likes to dress like Elvis Presley, casts his ballot today in
Skokie, Ill., as voting begins in Iraq’s first independent elections in
more than 50 years.
SOUTHGATE, Mich. (AP) – Hundreds of Iraqis streamed into polling places
in five U.S. cities Friday, the first day they could vote in their
homeland’s election. Nearly 26,000 people have registered to vote in
five U.S. metropolitan areas with heavy Iraqi populations: Detroit,
Chicago, Nashville, Tenn., Los Angeles and Washington.Tens of thousands more are expected to vote in 13 other countries during balloting that runs through Sunday.

The other thing to take from the election is, Elvis is alive and he is a iraqi ex-pat.
Elvis has voted. “Well, thank ya. Thank ya very much.”
