Mousavi says no to partial recount

Defeated Iranian presidential candidate Mirhossein Mousavi rejected authorities’ proposals for a partial recount of votes from this month’s poll and repeated his demand the entire ballot be annulled.

Iran’s top legislative body, the Guardian Council, offered to recount 10% of ballot boxes from in the presence of officials from the government and opposition. “This kind of recount will not remove ambiguities...There is no other way but annulment of the vote...Some members of this committee are not impartial,” Mousavi said.
