Iraq's New Consitution On Hold

From the BBC:
The Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq said it needed several more days to complete the count "after finding that the figures from most provinces were too high".

The commission said in some areas nearly all votes indicated a Yes, and in others a No, and that in such circumstances the ballots would have to be audited, in line with international practice...

The result of the referendum was originally expected later this week, but the electoral commission warned it might now be put back several days.

Unofficial results leaked out suggesting that the referendum would be endorsed.
