Announcing partial results has nothing to do with fraud, you know.
There was no early certifying of results; the leader did what he did in previous elections. On the other hand none of candidates had provided a single complaint. Still they have their right to provide complaints and nothing stops them from doing that.
May you tell me what police should do to those creating and using molotov coctails, attacking buses, burning bikes in fire, rubbing and destroying banks, ...?! You must have seen in pictures. These kind of criminals are not arrested in your country?
Basij is unfortunately not so well controlled and managed. Many of those Basijis who beat people do it without any permission or direction. It is sad, but still has nothing to do with fraud.
I've seen the crowd in pro-Ahmadinejad rallies with my eyes. There has been a so great crowd that there is no need to Photoshop at all. I don't know who the fool and why the hell did that silly Photoshop to that Image in Kayhan newspaper! Other non-Photoshopped pictures confirm what I said.
Internet filtering in Iran has been strict for years. It has nothing to do with fraud in election.

Comment That's all about Hashemi Rafsanjani (Score 1) 512

First of all let me tell you I'm Iranian and I live in Tehran.

I guess I know why a great deal of new votes are in favor of Ahmadinejad.

For years many of Iranians have been growing hatred against Hashemi Rafsanjani's family in their hearts. They thought all the government is doing the same injustice to them, so some people didn't vote at all.

Family of Hashemi was too powerful to be stopped, so no official effort against them happened until 10th election when Ahmadinejad directly attacked Hashemi's family on TV. Those who didn't vote because they thought the whole government is pirate (!) now voted for Ahmadinejad hoping he will stop Hashemi's family and the like. I think this was a very important factor.

This is simply not true. By Iran's law, the leader doesn't have the right to appoint someone as the president ignoring the election. Rights of the leader is defined in our law and the leader cannot disobey the law. Because if he does so, The Experts Council (Majles-e Khobregaan) can take leadership from him and set someone else as the leader. Experts are elected directly by people's votes.

I wonder where do people get their info from these days!

You are wrong about my country, Islamic Republic of Iran. I'm an Iranian university student who has observed the election scene carefully. I believe we have got a fair and strong election system. Those who are against the results have not yet provided a single documented complaint to the Election Committee of the Country. They just can't accept the results, but don't have anything to prove the election was not fair, because it really was! So they decided to stop the government by disobeying the laws. They're ruining the country just because they can't accept the majority of people preferred Ahmadinejad. Just imagine if all those who voted for McCain did the same thing to US government! It is ridiculous as well as embarrassing!
