Default Iranians vote, Raisi is the new President

[Iranians are voting to elect a new president,
with all but one of the four candidates
regarded as hardliners.
Opinion polls suggest Ebrahim Raisi,
a conservative Shia cleric who
heads the judiciary, is the clear favourite.

Mr Raisi is an ally of Iran's supreme leader
and has been touted as a future possible successor.

Dissidents and some reformists have
called for a boycott, saying the barring of
several contenders left Mr Raisi with
no serious competition.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
cast his vote early on Friday morning
in Tehran and encouraged people to go the polls.]

Considering the horrific Human Rights abuses that are the norm in Iran, I don't suppose anyone is really surprised they might rig an election.
