Insurgent Voters

Iraq's Defense Minister Hazem Al-Sha'lan has claimed that fake Iraqi families (actually formed by Iranian insurgents) are infiltrating the country in order to sway the result of the election:
Interviewer: It is possible that non-Iraqis who came from abroad will participate in the elections?

Al-Sha'lan: Of course. This is what I warned about. There are fictitious families who came from beyond the border. The father belongs to the Iranian intelligence, the mother belongs to the Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the children are orphans cared for by the Revolutionary Guard. They all came from beyond the border, in the form of fictitious families. They settled in Basra, Al-Nassiriya, Najaf, Karbala, Baghdad. …

Interviewer: How do they obtain "supply-cards" in order to vote in the elections?

Al-Sha'lan: They speak fluent Arabic. It is all a forgery. Even "supply-cards" and passports can be forged. We're in a predicament.
While deplorable conduct, it is interesting on a strategic level. This might well be the first voter insurgency attempted on the national scale.
