Election Response in Babol - When in Iran
- I still don't doubt Ahmadinejad's victory, because, as I had mentioned before, his supporters are much less quiet than the enthused and generally younger Mousavi side; it would be easy to believe Mousavi would win based on the rallies preceding the election. However, the government has reacted quite strongly, as they have not been faced with such heavy demonstrations in at least a decade. Initially after the election the government had allowed demonstrations to occur, although with a heavy police presence. Once the opposition began breaking windows and setting fire to cars, however, the police reacted quite heavily to subdue them.

- ‘These account for a total of 16,565,964 votes. Of these, 9,194,832 belonged to Ahmadinejad (55.5%) and 6,734,204 to Mousavi (40.1%). The national total was 39,371,214, of which Ahmadinejad got 62.5% and Mousavi 33.9%.
- ‘This leads to the obvious point everyone already predicted: Ahmadinejad did significantly better in small towns and villages, and Mousavi did significantly worse. But Ahmadinejad didn’t do bad in the big cities either (more than 55%). There are some cities, as you’ll see below, where Mousavi was a lot closer to Ahmadinejad, or even beat him (as in the most glaring case, Tehran, and especially northern Tehran).
