Seventy-year-old Iraqi exile Mehsin Imgoter holds his voting ballot up and begins to weep before putting it in the voting box in the Detroit suburb of Southgate, Michigan on January 28, 2005. Almost 30 percent of registered Iraqi exiles voted on the first day of absentee balloting in Iraq (news - web sites)'s first postwar election, organizers said on Saturday. A total of 84,429 Iraqis abroad, or 29.8 percent of the 280,303 who registered, voted on Friday. Those who registered number only a quarter of expatriates entitled to vote. (Rebecca Cook/Reuters)
