The first videos from today's election in Afghanistan are coming through. I'm not sure if this will define the day, but the two we have received are both concerned with voter fraud. Translation of first clip: "First man says that: the commission intentionally didn’t bring the machines that were used to punch holes in registration cards, so instead they were using scissors to cut the cards and this means people can just put another lamination on it and vote again. Other voters agree with him, also mention the poor quality of 'indelible ink' that can be erased."
