IRAN NOW ADMITS POSSIBLE VOTING FRAUD

In a stunning admission overnight, the Iranian government now admits a possible 3 million vote discrepancy from their recent Presidential election.  Authorities have acknowledged that the number of votes cast in 50 cities exceeded the actual number of voters, which negates assertions by the country’s supreme leader that the ballot was fair.

The news emerged on the English-language Press TV Web site late Sunday as a bitter feud among Iran’s ruling clerics escalated over the disputed election. The final outcome of the vote declared a lopsided victory to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad which catapult Tehran into its worst violence in 30 years. The official result gave Mr. Ahmadinejad 63 percent of the vote to Mir Hossein Moussavi’s 34 percent, an 11-million vote advantage.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi, accused the U.S. and other western powers and news organizations (which are operating under extremely tight official restrictions) of enticing the continuing violence and spreading unacceptable “anarchy and vandalism.”  Drawing comparisons with American election results, Mr. Qashqavi said  “No one encouraged the American people to stage a riot” because they disagreed with the re-election of George W. Bush.

In light of Iran’s acknowledgment of possible voting irregularities, the Ayatollah Khamenei has ordered the Guardian Council to investigate Mir Hossein Moussavi’s allegations of electoral fraud.
