The Guardian Council is finally copping to some "irregularities" in the election.
From Iranian State TV (again, no less):
Iran's Guardian Council has admitted that the number of votes collected in 50 cities surpass the number of those eligible to cast ballot in those areas.
The council's Spokesman Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei, who was speaking on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) Channel 2 on Sunday, made the remarks in response to complaints filed by Mohsen Rezaei -- a defeated candidate in the June 12 Presidential election.
"Statistics provided by Mohsen Rezaei in which he claims more than 100% of those eligible have cast their ballot in 170 cities are not accurate -- the incident has happened in only 50 cities," Kadkhodaei said.
Ahhh, it was only 50 cities. Well then, everybody go home now. Nothing to see here.
This report must be incomplete: I didn't see St. Louis or Chicago listed amongst the cities...
