FRIDAY June 12 2009 - Election Day - 85% Turnout



I will update this section soon, but briefly this short video shows the massive outpouring of voters to cast their voice and choose the next Iranian President. After all the days of observing the tens of thousands of Mousavi supporters in the day and at night, although we all knew that he would win there was clouded visions that something terribly wrong was going to occur. In the days before the election SMS were going out across the nation warning people against wearing green to the polls; to bring their own pens because the ones provided would be filled with erasable ink; and to attempt to vote at universities. Regardless of which candidate one supported, everyone asked everyone else if they had voted yet that day: the answer was always yes. Iranians take their democracy more serious then any other country I've seen.

Again, similar to Thursday June 11th video, audio has been added. A song by the same artist was chosen. Additional song information will be provided shortly.
