Nigeria's election Saturday is turning out to be not just a contest
for the nation's next president, voters say, but a referendum on the
state of security in Africa's largest democracy.

As voters brave the threat of attacks on polling stations by the
Islamist insurgency Boko Haram, they will be weighing which
candidate--PresidentGoodluck Jonathanor his challenger, Muhammadu
Buhari--is best able to combat the militant group, and readying
themselves for the possibility of religious violence if the election
results are disputed.

Boko Haram has spent more than eight months carving out a fiefdom in
the country's northeast. Thousands of people have died and more than a
million have fled their homes.
