Officials flipflop on estimates of Iraqi voter turnout
Figure lowered to 45%.

In a rare reference to an actual vote tabulation, The New York Times on Thursday reports that in the "diverse" city of Mosul, with 60% of the count completed, the overall turnout seems slightly above 10%.... In many embattled Sunni cities many if not most polling places never even opened.
