Iranian clerics ask for more investigation into election fraud

Myanmar News.Net
Sunday 5th July, 2009

Iran's clerics have begun to question the country’s election process.

Influential clerics from seat of religious learning, Qom, have accused the country's electoral watchdog, the Guardian Council, of not adequately investigating charges of election fraud, alleged during the June 12th presidential election.

Some of the religious men have clustered into a reformist group and have called the vote null and void.

The clerics said they had found it hard to accept the legitimacy of the presidential election simply because the Guardian Council had made a decision on the matter.

But the head of the Guardian Council, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, has insisted the election was fair and clean, even though all three defeated presidential candidates have now lodged complaints of irregularities.

The former candidates have charged there was intervention by Revolutionary Guards and Basij militia in favour of President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad during the election, as well as the printing of 14-million ballots more than the number of registered voters.

Iranian clerics ask for more investigation into election fraud

Well the claim of extra ballots can easily be the decider, and to have avoided all the demonstrations, destruction, injuries, and deaths. So why was it not used by the loosers? Did they not want to use the proof?

How many of the 14 million extra ballots remain? An easy count! All honest elections have extra ballots printed as a precaution for the unexpected.

Not any better in math than...

... , having the courage to post under your own name!

Try reading and comprehending, rather than jumping on your bigotry horse!

What left is easy to count and to do it in minutes! Simple math that most, just not you, can do will tell if a recount can change the declared result!

Too busy being squeezed by your panties?

Hypocritical Galljdaj

I note that you are active posting comments on many, many stories about the people’s rising in Iran, Gallijdaj, but fail to identify yourself, while castigating Anon, above. That is quintessential hypocrisy, apparatchik hack. You must be embarrassed to assert that accounting for fourteen MILLION ballots, clearly distributed across many precincts, could be accomplished

well pang you know me when I post, and such is my purpose...

... , We have some cowards that post as liars using the name I do, and I often expose them and their lie. I do that for your benefit.

Now about the millions unused ballots(extra), I can count them in minutes by weighing them and knowing how many ballots per Kilo, so it becomes a short and easy multiplying. Then it becomes a simple subtraction problem of the improper number, and the subtraction from the Winner’s Total. Then if he still has the winning number of votes, the answer is clear he won! This is not a hard problem!

If his number is less than a winning number, one of two decisions is required. A new election, or a manual recount, and an analysis of the voting by precints and determine the amount of fraud and to which party the fraud belongs to. Then recount.

Now its up to you to explain your
