re: #848 opnion

The election was rigged. The challenger lost his own hometown?
More people voted than were registered. The winner was declared within four hours of the poll closures & thes were paper ballots?
Is this Iran or Chicago?

Assume it was rigged, but no one expected Dinnerjacket to loose, so the margin of victory may have been too large, but no ones knows what the true result would have been. We should support the right of the Iranians to peacefully protest, but we have no idea which side to support, especially since there is very little difference in their foreign policy, or nuke goals or for that matter, who won.
