National election for the Legislature is to be held on September 16 so there are campaign posters everywhere one looks. You see an example in this picture and I'll try post even more as time draws closer. Inside Kabul, candidates appear pretty active and there are ongoing campaign rally's. Outside of Kabul is a different story. Already a number of candidates have been murdered by what are believed to be Taliban who do not support the candidate, it's an awful thing. The government of Afghanistan, along with the international community, are gearing up strong to prepare for these elections particularly determining polling locations and security of ballots. This is a huge challenge in this very unstable country. It was recently announced that there would be no polling in schools as this generates too significant a threat to the educational system so critical to the future of Afghanistan. The impact of this decision is great as there will be far fewer available stations which will concentrate larger numbers of people at the limited stations ... more on this issue in upcoming blogs. OOOPs, gotta head off to work.
HUGS for all readers today.
Remember our SC Governor...who doesn't? Well, our race is on, and given the current state it could get pretty ugly before the election. The Dem is a Camden hometown boy and the Rep is Tea Party. I know that makes for a very difficult vote for those of us who vote based upon the issues!
