I've heard a few analysts questioning the claims of Iranian voter fraud. (Flynt Leverett) and some posters on other forums.

One of the big lies now circulating is that no evidence has been provided for the claims of voter fraud, well let's put that to rest shall we:

Iran election turnouts exceeded 100% in 30 towns, website reports


At least 200 polling stations across Iran had participation rates of 95% or above, say sources of centrist Auyandeh site

this graph is made by the official results that interior ministry have released.

the horizontal axis is the name of provinces by alphabetical order, the vertical axis is the percentage of votes, blue is ahmadinejad's and purple is mousavi's percentage of votes. do you see the pattern?

another graph that shows the results as they were being released by interior ministry. note that these results are supposedly for the whole Iran, meaning that it includes different regions with different amount of support for each candidates. it can't be linear in no way.

also, karrubi has 500,000 registered party members, and he got only 300000 votes!

that should be enough I think.
