Syrians vote in 'theatrical election'

In Syria's Douma, political banners sway gently above piles of rubble and in front of bullet-pocked buildings.For the first time in nearly a decade of war, voting took place in the former rebel bastion on Sunday (July 19), two years after it was recaptured by the Syrian army.The parliamentary election was being held in 7,000 polling stations across government-controlled territory as the country struggles under a collapsing economy and new U.S. sanctions aimed at holding President Bashir al-Assad
