Voter turnout is expected to be high this week for Iraq’s historic parliamentary elections. Two-hundred-seventy-five parliamentary seats will be decided. Each new member will serve for the next four years. AirTalk guest host Ted Chen talks with KPCC’s Rob Schmitz who reports from a polling place in Pomona, where Southland Iraqi Americans are casting their votes. He also talks with Christian Science Monitor reporter Ilene Prusher from Baghdad, parliamentary candidate Basam Alhusseini, and Steven Cook from the Council on Foreign Relations.
