VOICED: Afghan vote fraud allegations overhang poll results

The video discusses the arrival of election boxes in Kabul after Afghanistan's presidential and provincial elections. Western allies praised the process, but allegations of fraud against President Karzai and others raised doubts about the election's legitimacy. The UN-backed Electoral Complaints Commission is investigating numerous complaints, including voter intimidation and ballot tampering. The investigation is expected to be thorough and time-consuming, delaying the release of results. Sanctions, such as canceling ballots, may be applied if fraud is confirmed. The final election outcome is anticipated in mid-September, but increasing allegations of rigging cast doubt on Afghanistan's democracy.
