Iraqi Elections In Progress

E-Day is here.

The polls are scheduled to close at 5 p.m. (9 a.m. ET).
As many as 10 million people were expected to vote, despite the possibility of violence.
Iraqi and U.S. officials are hoping that the Sunni Arab turnout will be high, a factor they believe could help deflate the largely Sunni Arab insurgency. Voting for security forces, prison detainees, and hospital patients, and Iraqi expatriates started Tuesday in 15 countries.
Final results probably won't be available until the end of December at the earliest.

History is watching. May this be the first day of a new (peaceful) life for Iraq.
