Hmmm...

As many as 99% of the votes were in favor of the constitution in the 12 Shitte and Kurdish provinces?

Reminds me of a joke I heard about ex- Syrian "President" Hafiz al-Assad.

After a Presidential election, an aid came to Assad's office with the election results in hand. "Mr. President, Mr. President, 99.9% of the Syrian population has voted for you, only 0.1% voted against you!" Assad just stared at the young man. "What else could you want Mr. President?" The Syrian leader paused. "Their names."
