...Afghan elections were supposed to help fix that perception. Instead, they have been marred by allegations of massive ballot-stuffing, mainly (but not exclusively) by Karzai's supporters. Afghanistan's Electoral Complaints Commission has ordered a partial recount, citing "clear and convincing evidence of fraud." Still, whether Karzai wins outright or faces a runoff with his rival, former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, he will almost certainly be re-elected...

...have turned into a disaster. Opposition politicians and Western diplomats allege epic-scale ballot-box stuffing, mainly by - but not exclusively - supporters of Karzai. The U.N. says votes in districts where fraud is proved to have taken place should be annulled. Afghanistan's Electoral Complaints Commission has ordered a partial recount of the vote, citing "clear and convincing evidence of fraud." Karzai's closest challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, a former Foreign Minister, decried the vote as "state-engineered fraud." (See pictures of election day in Afghanistan...
