Re: Iran an aw that

Clever statistical analysis indicates election fraud.

Basically, if you take a bunch of numbers (lets say.....election results in various districts) then, by looking at the last numbers in each number, you can make a good stab at finding out whether or not they are 'natural' or if someone just made them up. The more certain numbers predominate (outside of some statistical slack, of course), then we can say that the chances that these numbers were generated by honest means drops.
From this kind of analysis, it turns out that there's a less than one in two-hundred chance that the numbers weren't fiddled.

Doesn't tell us whether or not he would have won anyway, like, but it's still interesting.
