The results so far:

• Baghdad: 78 percent, yes; 17 percent, no.
• Duhuk: 99.11 percent yes; .89 percent, no.
• Diyala: 51.76 percent, yes; 48.24 percent, no.
• Karbala: 96.54 percent, yes; 3.46 percent, no.
• Maysan: 97.84 percent, yes; 2.16 percent, no.
• Muthanna: 98.66 percent, yes; 1.34 percent, no
• Najaf: 96.03 percent, yes; 3.97 percent, no.
• Qadisiya: 96.76 percent, yes; 3.24 percent, no.
• Salaheddin: 18.85 percent yes; 81.15 percent, no.
• Sulaimaniya: 98.95 percent, yes; 1.05 percent, no.
• Tameem: 62 percent, yes; 38 percent, no.
• Thi Qar: 97.06 percent, yes; 2.94 percent, no.
• Wasit: 95.80 percent, yes; 4.20 percent no.

I read the constitution this morning. Article 2 and the necessity for the Justices to "understand" Sharia law disturbed me. The constitution thinly veils the idea of creating a Muslim state.
