The Election in Iran: 'Extraordinary Amount of Wishful Thinking' by US - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International: "SPIEGEL ONLINE: Still many people, including in Washington, have expressed skepticism as to the validity of the results.
Leverett: I am a little surprised by the margin, too. But that makes me more comfortable about the overall validity of the election. Look at the irregularities Mousavi is citing now: that they ran out of ballot paper in some polling precincts, that they did not keep some polls open long enough. There is no way such things could change the overall outcome which is clearly in favor of Ahmadinejad. If you compare this to the flaws of the presidential election in Florida in 2000, it seems very insignificant."
