They had been told that in their mosques, or through text messages sent to their mobile phones, or through neighborhood word-of-mouth. At the Lorzadeh Mosque in southern Tehran where President Ahmadinejad cast his ballot, Golbarg Tavakoli, an old lady who could barely walk had come, she said, "to support the UPC and pay tribute to Imam Khomeini through voting - it is because of him that we are no longer servants of the West," she added...
