As Libyans prepare for the first free elections in 42 years, fear that the elections will be marred by violence is running through the voting populace.  Of the 3,700 candidates, many are strongly Islamic-leaning, while others align with the different warring factions that have flourished in the lawlessness.  The vote takes place tomorrow, July 7th.
