On Fox News, newsweek correspondent reports Najaf is calm and voting is occuring, though mood is 'subdued'. People are 'excited' and 'happy' to be voting.

According to powerlineblog, MSNBC reports that hardly anyone is voting in Ramadi which, it says, is essentially an active war zone (there was a fire fight yesterday near a polling station) and ground zero of the insurrection right now.
