Turnout was huge, apparently. I imagine there'll be hell to pay if there's any inconsistencies.

..... so cometh the Day after the elections (and it will come) and Bruun is 'celebrating' I'll be at the Downing Street Gates 
Some Iranian folks were on the news saying that crackdowns only increase just after elections, not before; Teheran are masters of timing when it comes to oppression. There is evidence to support his claims. Social blogging sites were getting fired up against Dinnerjacket and ....oops!....the government shut down the internet nationwide. That just about tells me all I need to know. 
This same fellow was saying that there is division amongst the ruling clergy (the real power)like never before. That shows some promise. The word on the street was that if the other guy won and tried to veer to far from the path of Islamic tradition, the Revolutionary Guard would "crush" any such activity. The positive side is that the Iranian electorate are very into the process.

you guys obviously havent ventured to one of these religious countries and experienced the unfair treatment for nonbelievers....

My best friend at School was Iranian, they fled to England after the Shah was deposed. He and his family were the most wonderful people. This is very sad, personally I think Iranian's are the most sensible and educated out of all the middle eastern Countries.
