“Hard-liner ushered in as new Iran president:  Voter turnout republic’s lowest ever,” Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, June 20, 2021.  “[O]ut of more than 59 million people eligible, only 28.9 million voted Friday. And some 3.7 million people either accidentally or intentionally voided their ballots, far beyond the amount seen in previous elections and suggesting that some wanted none of the four candidates.”  Ouch.
