| Abstract: |
Nearly one in four votes in last month's Afghan presidential elections were cast at polling stations now subject to a recount and audit for possible fraud, a huge number that underscores the possibility that President Hamid Karzai could face a runoff, according to an analysis of Afghan national election commission data by The New York Times. About a third of Mr. Karzai's 3.1 million votes were cast at polling stations that face a recount and audit of ballot boxes, according to The Times's analysis of data released by the country's Independent Election Commission.
