#1 Let's see.
To vote, you need an ID. Check.
Not many women have ID's. Check.
So not many women will vote. Check.

But do women need ID cards to work at the polling places? Maybe but article didn't say.

Just pay them to work at polling places if there aren't enough women available with ID's. Have ID holders supervise. Plus, those who vote will encourage others to get ID, helping security situation.

#2 Don't get wrapped up in too much logic, Chicago Mike. This is Saudi Arabia we are talking about. The issue of women voting in SA should be looked upon as a Zen koan. That way you won't blow your binnacle over it. Heh heh.

#4 Remember, a woman can only get the i.d. if her male guardian not only permits it, but personally takes her there to execute the paperwork.

#5 Indoctrinated from birth to their "position" within Wahhabi "society" - it would never even occur to 90% that they could or should vote - or get ID - or have a life. The programming goes the other way.
