Somewhat more relevant election news than Nader’s…

…not that it was hard to find such a thing.

Elections in Iran proceeded about as expected: in short, the regime threw out just about every reformist candidate that wouldn’t [elaborate obscenity deleted] like good little toadies and the voters responded mostly by reducing electoral turnout to its lowest point since 1979 (general consensus somewhere around 50%). There’s been scattered violence in response (all links essentially of the same story*) since then: it could could spread and escalate into a full-scale revolt, but don’t hold your breath. This time.

Pejman, as usual, is keeping an eye on this stuff.
