FILE - In this Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012 file photo, an elderly Egyptian man shows his inked finger after casting his vote on the second round of a referendum on a disputed constitution drafted by Islamist supporters of President Mohammed Morsi in Fayoum, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Cairo , Egypt. When election-time rolls around, this impoverished rural province has proven one of Egypt's most die-hard bastions of support for Islamists, handing them lopsided victories. The referendum that approved Egypt's Islamist-backed constitution was no exception, with nearly 90 percent of voters here supporting the charter. But even here, voices of discontent with the Muslim Brotherhood are emerging, something the liberal and secular opposition is hoping to build on in upcoming parliament elections.(AP Photo/Khalil Hamra, File)
