Jordan's elections expected to change little - 20 Nov 07

Polls have opened in Jordan, with two and a half million voters about to elect a new Parliament. There are one-hundred-and-10 seats up for grabs in the lower house. Control of the country is expected to remain in the hands of tribal groups due to the way the electoral system is set up. But as David Chater reports, the main opposition party is hoping to make an impact.

Ahhh, electronic voting. SPLENDID! The same system that bush used to cease power in 2000. Tell me how that works out for you, Jordan. I'm sure you like how it's turned out for america almost as much as i do!
