Iran's election authority has said that the claims of voting irregularites are unfounded.
Really.
Dear Iranian election authority, isn't it true that in dozens of cities in Iran, the total number of votes received exceeds the number of registered voters in those cities?
Iranian election authority: Umm.. yeah. But those votes didn't noticeably influence the overall results.
But aren't those still voting irregularities?
Iranian election authority: No. Now go away. We have to have brutal militia beat up unarmed women and old people. It's very hard work.
*sigh* Yeah, this isn't going well, and it's going to get worse.
