I do not buy anything from Mr. Afarsiabi (he is a loser) or any CASMII member as they always have serious issues with the truth. His claims do not address many other issues (see link below) and I find it hard to believe that Iran had 3 million vacationing travelers (8% of the voting population) voting at other locations. 

Please see a detailed study on this fraud here:

A Disgusting Fraud

By ROBERT DREYFUSS

Gunfire, tear gas, and water cannons used by
baton-wielding security forces in Iran have forced an uneasy calm on
Tehran and other cities, but Mir Hossein Mousavi isn’t backing down.
And the next explosion could come when the Guardian Council, the
twelve-member clerical body assigned the task of reviewing the results
of the June 12 election, releases its report. By all accounts, the
Council — half of whose members are appointed by, and loyal to,
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the other half is nominated by Iran’s
Parliament and approved by Khamenei — will ratify President
Ahmadinejad’s reelection. Now an update focused on the election itself:
A newly released statistical study of the rigged election by Chatham
House raises enormous questions about the validity of the Interior
Ministry’s reported vote totals. And Mousavi himself is making the
point, in detailed fashion, that the vote was bogus. The Chatham House analysis, while wonky and
full of detailed charts, provides the clearest evidence yet that
Ahmadinejad and Co. rigged the vote. It shows, for instance, that in at least ten
provinces — in order to have amassed the vote totals given to him —
Ahmadinejad would have had to have won all the voters who backed him in
2005, all of the voters who, last time voted for the centrist candidacy
of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, all of the voters who, last time, sat
out the election and didn’t vote at all, and — on top of that — up to
44 percent of the voters who, in 2005, backed the reformist slate! Example: Ahmadinejad won 765,000 votes in
Hamedan province. In 2005, he received 195,000. To win the additional
570,000 votes, Ahmadinejad would have to have won all 218,000 voters
who didn’t vote in 2005, all 175,000 Rafsanjani voters, and nearly a
quarter of the 322,000 voters who cast their ballots for the
reformists. Keep in mind that most, if not all, of the non-voters in
2005 would be people disgusted with and cynical about voting at all,
the vast majority of whom would probably have cast their ballots for
Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi, or Mohsen Rezai this time, if they voted at
all. In province after province, the data hold. The Chatham House data also show,
conclusively, that rural voters do not support Ahmadinejad, contrary to
the oft-repeated myth in the media and among many analysts. In 2005,
for instance, the report shows a perfect correlation: The more rural
the province, the lower Ahmadinejad’s vote in 2005. Why? “Much of
Iran’s rural population is comprised of ethnic minorities: Lors,
Baluch, Kurdish, and Arab amongst others. These ethnic minorities have
a history of voting Reformist,” says the report. In 2005, they voters
overwhelmingly for Karroubi and for Mostafa Moin, not Ahmadinejad. The
report, backed by detailed statistical analysis, shows that to have won
the support he claims to have achieved in rural areas, Ahmadinejad
would have to have won fully half of the reformist vote, and notion
that the report calls “highly implausible.” It also notes, wryly, that “in two
conservative provinces, –Mazandaran and Yazd — a turnout of more than
100 percent was recorded.” Rather stunningly, Iranian Parliament Speaker
Ali Larijani — a fiercely conservative partisan who, nonetheless, was a
backer of Ahmadinejad’s conservative opponent in the June 12 election,
Mohsen Rezai — has declared that the vote may be suspect. Here’s what
he said: “The Guardian Council should use every
possible means to build trust and convince the protestors that their
complaints will be thoroughly looked into. A majority of people are of
the opinion that the actual election result is different from what was
officially announced. The opinion should be respected and a line should
be drawn between them and the rioters and miscreants. … Although the
Guardian Council is made up of religious individuals, I wish certain
members would not side with a certain presidential candidate.” By “certain presidential candidate,” of course, Larijani means Ahmadinejad. Mousavi himself isn’t pulling punches. He
said that “disgusting measures” were used to fix the election, adding,
in a letter to the mullahs of the Guardian Council: “All these counts of irregularities plus many
others that were mentioned in previous letters . . . are reasons to
cancel the election nationwide. … The result was reversed. … The number
of mobile ballot boxes was increased significantly, and there were no
monitors present at those stations. Our representatives were not
allowed to be present at the mobile ballot boxes during transportation.
Considering the fact that there were 14,000 of those, that gave them
the ability to carry out any violation of any sort. The ballot boxes
were sealed before we could verify that they were not filled up before
election day. “There were 45.2 million eligible voters, and
59.6 million voting slips with serial numbers were printed. A day
before the elections, there were millions more printed without serial
numbers. The fact that there were so many extra voting slips itself is
questionable. There is no way we could have run out of voting slips so
early into the elections.” The next step is the Guardian Council’s.

What do you guys have to say to this? No offense, just asking

by Barbra on Mon Jun 22, 2009 09:11 AM PDT

"due to summer travel/weekend, in some 50 places, mostly in resort areas
of Caspian Sea, the voter turn out was more than 100 percent. There is
nothing unusual about this and the official cites specific figures from
a number of past elections including parliamentary elections to
corroborate this. case in point, he says that in towns of Zorgan and
Morv, the votes in the past presidential elections were 200 times more.
Some of those areas Mr. Mousavi actually won."

This is BREAKING news.

If they confirm 3,000,000 votes effected by 100%+ votes, then the other places with 99%, 95%, 90% etc were also rigged as were the ones with 60% etc ...That just proves there was fraud and this is just tip of iceberg that was caught due to being obvious and that voids the announced results.

I have a feeling....
