Vote rigging threatens Iran's presidential run-off

The Daily Star - Politics - Vote rigging threatens Iran's presidential run-off: "'Some people, in order to stay in power, are ready to do anything to deviate the election,' said Jahanbakhsh Khanjani, spokesman of the reformist-controlled Interior Ministry.
It was a thinly veiled reference to Iran's powerful right-wingers, who already control most of the country's maze of institutions but fear a threat from the pragmatic and wily Rafsanjani - a regime veteran who favors closer ties with the West."
