1. I hope there is an agency that is honestly counting the votes,

and that they have the final say in this. Does anyone know?

2. There is live video feed at the link

grantcart posted above. They just said that the election commission says Ahmadinejad has 69% out of the 20% ballots counted.

9. Well he was mayor of Tehran once so I wonder if they were first counted.

I doubt he will get that kind of a return anywhere else in the country, especially in districts with a large Arab population

3. Thanks. Does Iran have anything like a Supreme Court to decide FOR the voters?

4. Ahmadinejad's cousin is calling it for the incumbent.

Zogby just 'updated' exit polling data to be 'more consistent with projections' by Faux News.

5. It looks like it's still up in the air.

Iran's state news agency reported that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won re-election Friday, but his main reformist challenger also confidently claimed victory at a news conference moments earlier.

7. If it's close, just don't send it to the US Supreme Court to decide!

For obvious reasons.

I'm sure they would be happy with the ruling ;}
