Any illegitimacy to elections brings sorrow to people. The vote is the only method people have in applying their voice to the desires for their government. When the vote is 'insulted' by corrupt methods the pain to the false outcomes is too much to bear.
I please refer to a 'known' inconsistency.
The election results were supposed to be 'carefully' compiled and reported in three days. That did not occur. The people immediately reacted with the understanding the 'process' was 'incomplete.' The people's voice matters, their desire for accuracy and fairness is vitally important.
Thank you.
I regret all the deaths that occurred. Those people were passionate to their voice and let it be a reminder to the leaders of Iran how their people rely on 'safe, fair and consistent election and voting rules.'

Today's news represents a surprising turnaround for Khamenei, who had previously welcomed the results.
Mousavi has cancelled a rally planned for later today after being warned that militias responsible for policing it would be equipped with live ammunition....
