The BBC is reportingthat Hamid Karzai now has more than 54 percent of the vote in Afghanistan’s presidential election, meaning he can avoid a runoff election, despite more than 2,100 fraud complaints and a mandated partial recount.That places the legitimacy of Karzai’s victory in doubt, as the Obama administration feared. Whether the administration will push Karzai to form a unity government remains to be seen, as does whether Karzai will acquiesce.
