This statistic alone needs more investigation. I think it indicates the Islamofascists need to be a little concerned.

That would mean that 67% of the outlying areas voted. Hard to interpret the vote's results, except to take the included comments on faith. Why are the people so disenchanted with the reformers that they didn't vote? And why didn't the reformers not field candidates in so many races? It this a protest boycott? It seems Islamic Iran is headed toward an ugly meltdown/showdown.
