Update, 9:12 a.m.: IHEC just released numbers from the last four governorates (Dhi Qar, Kirkuk, Sulaymaniyah, and Wassit) still uncounted. We now have preliminary tallies from all 18 provinces -- though some are still less than 20 percent complete.
Original post: Another batch of results from Iraq, this time from Karbala province, where prime minister Nouri al-Maliki's State of Law coalition has a roughly two-to-one lead over the Iraqi National Alliance. You can view the latest results here.
The Independent High Electoral Commission hasn't posted numbers from Kirkuk yet, but there are reports that Iyad Allawi's Iraqiyya coalition has a narrow lead over the Kurdistan Alliance. That would be a surprising outcome -- though preliminary results could oversample Sunni neighborhoods and therefore be misleading.

I think that Ayad Allawi is a Liar and if he thinks he is going to win he is not because the iraqi people doesn't tolerate cheaters like Ayad Allawi. I think that Nour Al-malki deserves to win. Nour Al-Malki wants the best for the iraqi people and the country. Ayad Allawi is the second saddam Hussien and we dont need people like him. Ayad Allawi was paying people just to vote for him. I hope the best for the Iraqi people and i hope they choice the best one for the country and the people and thats Nour Al-malki.
