| Re: Iran an aw that
Apparently the results were declared an hour after the polling stations closed, showing an 85% Vs 23% (from memory....though it may have been 85% voter turnout) in favour of keeping the current system, despite pre-election polls showing the opposition was favoured
Though my source on that is Jon Stewart
You do see on the news thousands (hundereds of thousands) of people taking to the streets in favour of the opposition, and those in favour of the current had to be bussed in from the farms/etc
There's 'secret police' going about arresting opposition figureheads and attacking 'the mob'
They're also attacking universities
People openly say on camera "They don't let us say what we want!"
Even educated folk like doctors in Iran are saying that it was rigged
the recount: they've offered to do a partial recount. How can you do a partial recount?...
Seems there's a stronger case that the election was rigged to me
