Ahmadinejad won. Get over it

Without any evidence, many U.S. politicians and Iran experts have dismissed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad s reelection Friday, with 62.6 percent of the vote, as fraud. They ignore the fact that Ahmadinejad s 62.6 percent of the vote in this year s election is essentially the same as the 61.69 percent he received in the final count of the 2005 presidential election, when he trounced former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. The shock of the Iran experts over Friday s results is entirely self-generated, based on their preferred assumptions and wishful thinking.

The Leaders of Iran’s ‘Election Coup’

The rigged presidential election in Iran -- a coup d'etat, according to Mohsen Makhmalbaf, a spokesman for the main reformist challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi, and other analysts -- has prompted protests both inside and outside Iran. There is, however, little understanding about the ideology and motivation behind the operation.

Iran’s Disputed Election – The Big Picture –

Following up from last Friday's entry about Iran's Presidential Election, Tehran and other cities have seen the largest street protests and rioting since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Supporters of reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, upset at their announced loss and suspicions of voter fraud, took to the streets both peacefully and, in some cases, violently to vent their frustrations. Iranian security forces and hardline volunteer militia members responded with force and arrests, attempting to stamp out the protests - meanwhile, thousands of Iranians who were happy with the election outcome staged their own victory demonstrations. Mousavi himself has been encouraging peaceful demonstrations, and called for calm at a large demonstration today (held in defiance of an official ban), as Iran s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has just called for an official inquiry into accusations of election irregularities.

FiveThirtyEight Politics Done Right

A most strange storyline has emerged with regard to the provincial vote totals for the Iranian election. Around 1600 GMT Sunday, the ministry of Interior released the official vote totals by province. As others have mentioned, by law candidates have three days following voting to contest the result, before the final totals are approved by the Supreme Leader. As such, it is notable that both the aggregate totals and provincial totals were certified, approved and released before the three day deadline.

Political Lines Blurred for Iran Vote

In a profound departure from a quarter-century of politics grounded in appeals to religious duty, the presidential campaigns unfolding across Iran's capital betray not the slightest suggestion that this is a theocratic state. Hard-line conservatives are running as reformers. Reformers, after years of being thwarted by hard-liners, are running scared. And most ordinary Iranians are holding themselves aloof -- unmoved, they say, by a political transformation that many dismiss as largely cosmetic.

Hands Off the People of Iran

It is no surprise that the highly contested results of the presidential elections in Iran have sparked unrest in Tehran and other cities across Iran. The level of cheating on display seems crazy even by the standards of Iran's Islamic Republic regime. Clearly, the results are the final proof that confirms that the whole electoral process is deeply undemocratic and rigged from top to bottom:

Iran President and Challenger Clash in Debate

A moderate politician who is considered the strongest challenger to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran accused him on live television on Wednesday of undermining the nation s interest by constantly questioning the Holocaust and by engaging in an adventurist foreign policy. The sharp attacks by the candidate, Mir Hussein Moussavi, came during a fierce 90-minute debate with Mr. Ahmadinejad that was broadcast throughout Iran. The two candidates clashed repeatedly during the one-on-one debate, with each accusing the other of radicalism and undercutting the country s interest.

Iran plans to air US-style TV election debate

It is the ultimate slice of political Americana an unscripted no-holds-barred sparring contest between candidates pitting their wits, chutzpah and political virility before an audience of millions. Now the televised debate, a long-established hallmark of US presidential elections, could be given an airing in an unlikely setting: Iran, which for 30 years has denounced America as the "great satan" and spurned its cultural innovations
