VOICED: Syrian voters head to the polls on Sunday amid violence

The video discusses the distribution of the new Syrian constitution by pro-regime activists, who view Bashar al Assad's actions as democratic. Despite the regime's challenges and a bloody crackdown on protesters, a new constitution was proposed to end single-party rule.
