[EL] Egyptian presidential election

[Dan Meek]

It appears to me that the election just concluded in Egypt was a top-two 
primary for President.  As Richard Winger notes, news reports are that 
the 2 most radical of the 13 candidates allowed on the ballot won.  How 
could that be, since top-two primaries result in winning by moderates?  
It appears that the top 2 candidates each won about 25% of the vote, 
respectively, although official results are not available until tomorrow.
