	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Chronicles \| The first forged elections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Disregarding the elections held under Sidqi's term in 1930 that were boycotted by the Wafd and Constitutional Liberal parties, six elections had been held and in all of them the Wafd Party had won.
		The second were the elections of March 1925, which were held under the supervision of Ismail Sidqi, the minister of the interior in the government of Ziwar that was loyal to the palace and inimical to the Wafd Party.
		As there was an intention to forge the elections, and the police forces were not sufficient to supervise the process in order to meet this goal, some time was required to transport them from the Delta region after fulfilling their mission there to Upper Egypt to complete the process.

	The American Voter
		Which is why Patterson and his colleagues at the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy decided to launch the Vanishing Voter Project — a year-long undertaking devoted to getting inside the minds of the American voter and shedding light on what can be done to turn apathy into action.
		By the end of the 19th century, turnouts had dropped due in part to new barriers — literacy tests, poll taxes, and longer residency requirements, for example — that made voting more difficult, particularly for fl voters, poor whites, and immigrants, as well as the decline of powerful political parties.
		"Elections are punctuated by moments when citizens sit up, take notice, and actively listen, learn, and decide," explains Marvin Kalb, executive director of the center's Washington, DC office and co-director of the project.

		For example, if inflation were 5 percent and the growth rate in the year of the election -4 percent, the predicted vote share would be 49.8 percent, a narrow Bush loss.
