It is rather unusual that he voted in N. Hamkyung, Prov., not in Pyongyang, where he is registered and had voted previously. He must be moving around N.E. area of N. Korea, where critical nuke and missile facilities are located. This is usually the indication that Kim Jong-il is digging in and is ready to make another provocation in near future.

It is my take that Kim knows U.S. won't easily accommodate many demands N. Korea put forth in return for working toward disbanding its nukes, and want to sofen up U.S. further by making military provocation, which Kim figure U.S. is ill-equipped to deal with these days.

IMHO, three possible candidates for potential provocation by Kim are (1) another naval firefight around NLL in Yellow Sea (2) the second nuclear test (3) more missile launches. I put the naval clash as a top candidate because N. Korea has been bringing up NLL issue again and heating up its rhetoric. It also broke off military talks between two Koreas, after NK's representatives made belligerent statements.

Maybe those units were in need of some “on the spot guidance.” It’s been a while since he was out to do that.

Oh it's more than unusual, the idea of 'voting' in 'elections' in North Korea is absolutely hilarious.

NORTH KOREAN BALLOT:

I thought he was seriously ill. Could this be some sort of disinformation scheme directed at internal military consumption?
