"... the Islamic republic held another rigged parliamentary election," said Sec. Pompeo.
"One Iranian said 'I will not vote. Voting means we give legitimacy to this corrupt regime.'... Another said, 'I have not voted in my life.'"

Keyword: "rigged"

Let's take a look.

2)
Videos online show what appears to be vote rigging by officials. Experience shows the regime "engineered" past elections.

Officials claim 42% voter turnout in Friday's parliamentary elections. I believe it was less than 20%.

3)
Another video of one individual filling numerous ballots

4)
A very suspicious method of counting votes. It seems the individuals involved are also filling ballots.

Locals say members of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) in ordinary clothing (not uniforms) stole ballot boxes and transferred them to an unknown location.

Feb 21 - Qaemshahr, northern #Iran
Live state TV:
Woman: "... some of these so-called candidates were seen buying & selling votes."
Reporter: "No. Let's not discuss that issue. You, my dear, come closer..."

Feb 21 - Iran
People taking footage of a Majlis (parliament) elections candidate & shouting he is giving cash handouts to buy locals' votes.

12)
The vote count in #Iran following the Feb. 21 Majlis (parliament) elections.

Iranians have long described the regime's elections as "sham," "farce" and "selections/appointments."

The mullahs have a history of vote rigging.

Feb 21 - Iran
Faced with unprecedented low voter turnout, authorities are cancelling finger-stamps & allowing people to vote with photo-lacking IDs.
This will allow further vote rigging for officials to claim "massive participation."

14)
Feb 21 - Iran
Census offices are open today to issue IDs for people seeking to vote, official says.

Regime authorities are resorting to desperate measures to rig the vote count as tens of million of people are boycotting the mullahs' elections farce.

15)
In Iran under the mullahs' regime there are no such things as "elections" familiar in western democracies. There are only selections & appointments by regime officials.

Iranians cast their vote as:
#BoycottIranShamElections
#MyVoteRegimeChange by the Iranian people.
