They could have at least pretended that it was a fair election. They usually don't report results for three days as the votes are hand counted, but to report while voting was still taking place was just too obvious.

I had hoped that even the Clerics had come to realize that Ahmedinejad was more trouble than he was worth. This gets them nothing, and actually weakens them faster than letting the more moderate win in a fair election.

Fools in power become blinded to reality, and such has happened to Ayatollah Khamenei.
