Egyptians vote amidst political chaos
Egyptians began voting Saturday in a presidential runoff election that pits the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi against Ahmed Shafik, the last prime minister in ousted-and-jailed Hosni Mubarak's regime. The two-day runoff vote comes in the wake of game-changing court decisions this week, in which Egypt's first freely elected parliament was dissolved and Shafik was given the green light to run for president.
