Iran: It's Like Florida or Ohio, Only More Splodey

Mahmoud I'mADinnerJacket wins the Iranian presidency for a second term; opponent cries j'accuse; Iranian street decidedly unhappy Via the Telegraph:.

Mr Mousavi claimed he had been the victim of "fraud" and "manipulation" after he gained just 33.7 per cent of the vote, compared to Mr Ahmadinejad's 62.6 per cent.

In the run-up to the campaign, polls had put both men neck-and-neck, with some suggesting that Mr Ahmadinejad was in for a shock defeat because of his poor economic performance and aggression to the West.

While there has been no proof of rigging, many Iranians voiced open disbelief that he could have achieved victory by such a wide margin.

Religionists rigging the vote? We can relate. Except for the street riots and burning buildings part, of course.
