Another positive development

Although the Iranian government has cracked down violently on demonstrators, there has been another surprising development:

The spokesman for the Guardian Council, which has responsibility for overseeing elections, has admitted that in 50 cities the number of votes collected is greater than the number of people eligible to vote in those cities. The vote tally affected is over 3 million.

And this was announced on the state tv. So they are acknowledging that there was election fraud on a pretty massive scale. They're saying they don't know whether this was enough to have changed the outcome, but they're no longer claiming there was no irregularity.

It could be a first step in calling for a new election.
