Carnegie Guide to Egypt's elections

The Carnegie Endowment, which has some great Egypt experts, has put together a spiffy and extensive website on elections in Egypt, complete with nifty Flash charts of parliamentary representation. This takes us one step closer to my dream of finding the Egyptian equivalent to fivethirtyeight.com so I can know the exact vote count in Sohag's eastern districts.

I have it in mind to replicate the format of Carnegie's website, complete with profiles of key players, but in a much more satirical (or merely blunt and truthful) tone. The entry for Safwat al-Sherif would alone make it worth it.
