Afghans Admit Voting Multiple Times

The problem was that anyone could vote several times. I voted five times myself.

I have been here for some time from the UK , visiting family and doing research, and I have been to Peshawar and some of the tribal areas adjacent to this city along with family members who reside there. All the Afghans I met there, invariably, were of the view that there cannot be a 'fair' election under American auspices until Karzai, an obviously American-backed candidate, withdraws after having completed his mandate. The present situation emerging in Afghanistan is only a sad reflection of this reality.

Many Afghans have told RFE/RL they became suspicious about multiple voting when they discovered they could wipe the ink from their own thumbs shortly after voting -- even without soap or water.

Those voters remember remarks by Karzai during the summer when it had been reported that hundreds of thousands of individuals had received more than one voter registration card. At the time, Karzai confirmed that multiple cards had been issued, but he said the total number was unknown.

When asked about the multiple voting cards during an 11 August news conference in Kabul, Karzai initially welcomed Afghans to vote more than once.
