Does Iran have 100% voter turnout as Iraq did under Hussein's reign?
Nope, but all candidates have to get approval by the Mullahs to get on the ballot. The only form of protest left is refusing to vote & those who don't vote find their jobs or acceptance to school at risk.
LOL............ even the long dead vote "yes".
"Does Iran have 100% voter turnout as Iraq did under Hussein's reign?"
Actually no. Disgruntled Ministry of Interior employees initially released REAL voting statistics in the first round of the Presidential election - that indicated about 7% (seven percent) of the populace voted despite busing groups from one precinct to another to cast multiple votes.
(Also done for the benefit of foreign journalists, who were restricted to only a handful of predetermined locations and not allowed to observe any other locations.
Shortly after that, the Interior Ministry was forbidden to issue statistics, which then came from a a source connected to the Supreme Ruler. (At that time fully supporting Ahmadi-Nejad against Rafsanjani.
Notably, most of these votes cast were from government employees and students, whose jobs and permission to attend university or higher learning institutions depended on their having a "voted" ink stamp in the national ID card.
A vast majority of these dropped in BLANK ballots! They got their ID stamped but voted for nobody. The results were totally fixed. As Stalin said: "who votes (or how many vote) is irrelevant, who counts the votes is important".
With Rafsanjani clashing today with Supreme Ruler Khamenei for a variety of reasons, and Hojatieh spiritual leader Mesbah Yazdi vying for the post of Supreme Ruler, there is toil and trouble - bubble, bubble.
Unfortunately, only Ahmadi-Nejad has enough actual clout via the Revolutionary Guards he seeded into place to decide the outcome. The other shoe dropping is whether he exercises that option or perhaps when will he do so.
HE is NOT just a figurehead as some describe him - just playing his extremely strong hand like a fox - avoiding confrontation with his local enemies, like Khamenei or Rafsanjani till absolutely necessary.
And with Guardian Council elections in the offing (this month if implemented as scheduled) he stands a chance of a virtually totally free hand to do as he pleases if his mentor Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi becomes Supreme Ruler.
They are philosophically joined at the hip and head about the need to wipe Israel off the face of the world map and about the Hojatieh desire to give the 12th Imam ample reason to return and transform the world into an Islamic one.
