Cold hard truth, the elections were held without incident as scheduled. Current events effect elections - that is the way it should be. The facts are though that in the three days between the bombings and the elections absolute truth about what happened and who did it wasn't obtained so most voters did so with likely inaccurate information. Of course, the complete scene still hasn't been uncovered to my knowledge but it is extremely likely that it was a terrorist organization. Their goal was to effect the election - I don't think there is any way to stop that effectively.

That those civilians were murdered is not really part of the debate.
