As of writing, there's been a lot of hearsay about whether or not the results of the Iranian election have been rigged.

I was speaking to a friend about the Iranian elections, and that person was able to provide me with a screen capture via another friend of an irregularity on Iranian TV with the voter count. Have a look inside:

I don't speak persian, so unfortunately I probably can't answer any further questions about the following photo. If someone else speaks the language, they can translate it properly.

However, it doesn't take long looking at this photo to realise something is a bit fishy. From the Iranian television network, IRIB:

top screenshot:

total votes: 30 506 422
TEHRAN 09:47

(photo of Ahmadinejad) 64.78%
19761433

(photo of Mousavi) 33.26%
9841056

(photo of Rezai) 2.08%
633048

(photo of Karoubi) 0.89%
270885

bottom screenshot:

total votes 34377493
TEHRAN 13:53

(photo of Ahmadinejad) 63.36%
21781391

(photo of Mousavi) 34.06%
11709391

(photo of Rezai) 1.71%
587913

(photo of karoubi) 0.87%
298798

The thing that has been circled, and what you should pay attention to, is the vote of the third party candidate Rezai.

That screenshot clearly shows that the vote for Rezai actually went backwards as the count was coming in, from 633048 votes to 587913 votes. Very strange indeed.

1. Oops! Darn those technical irregularities.

2. I'll bet Katherine Harris was in charge of counting the votes. nt

3. LOL

It's probably more from not caring, along the lines of "we have the guns and tanks, what are you going to do about it?"
