Voters cast ballots for a third and final day Wednesday in Egypt's presidential election. With incumbent President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi running largely unopposed, there was little drama during the polling. Among those supporting Sissi were older Egyptians who hope for stability after years of political turmoil in the Arab world's most populous country. Many young people — hungry for change and more freedom — were cynical and stayed away from the polls. Hamada Elrasam reports from Cairo.
