Final day of elections still as bloody

At least two dead, dozens wounded, massive police presence preventing people from voting in some districts, and clear targeting of Muslim Brotherhood supporters. Welcome to "New Thinking". There's some fine and extensive reporting by the AP here. Results, as always, won't come out until very late tonight or tomorrow at the earliest, but Reuters quoted a Muslim Brotherhood official as saying they expected another 15-20 seats.
