According to official results announced by BBC Persian, Kurdistan province has been won by Ahmadenejad. This is unprecedented in the history of the Islamic Republic. For thirty years Kurdistan has voted for the opposition candidates and the turn out is very low. This time around the turn out in this province has been extremely high.
This is oddly reminiscent of the incident in 2000 where liberal precincts in Florida (like Palm Beach, with high Jewish populations) were going overwhelmingly for Buchanan, an arch-Christian candidate with a history of unfortunate commentary towards Jews.
The mullahs should have made their meddling a little less blatant.

They can't change the election outcome while remaining within legal (mullah-controlled) bounds. It's going to take a violent revolution to oust that monster.
