The Iraqi Constitution referendum results are in, and it passed by a wide margin; 78 to 21 percent. Two provinces were expected to vote “No” in big numbers, and one was too close to call before the referendum.
Two provinces had already been confirmed to have voted heavily “No” — 96 percent in the insurgent stronghold of Anbar and 81 percent in Saddam Hussein’s home region of Salahaddin.
But the final results announced on Tuesday showed that a third, “swing,” province of Nineveh, had voted by only 55 percent against the constitution, short of a two-thirds majority.
Way to go, Jonah!
