re: #702 Rancher

They didn’t count the votes, Ahmadinejad did, that’s my point. The Supreme Leader doesn’t have the absolute power that many here think he does, neither does the Council of Guardians, the ones who choose who gets to run for President. The President, Ahmadinejad, picks the Ministers and the Interior Ministry runs the elections.

The Supreme Leader doesn’t have absolute power? Do you have some authority for that claim? It’s contrary to everything I’ve read on this subject anywhere.
