if there were a major breach, we could annul the election--thank allah THAT didn't happen

The Guardian Council (unsurprisingly) declared that it would not nullify the vote. Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei, the spokesperson for the Council, offered the following reassurance:
If a major breach occurs in an election, the Guardian Council may annul the votes that come out of a particular affected ballot box, polling station, district, or city. Fortunately, in the recent presidential election we found no witness of major fraud or breach in the election.
Well, that's a relief... Because some people might have thought that the voting discrepancy of 3 million in 50 cities that the government actually admitted might qualify as a "major breach" in "a particular affected ballot box, polling station, district, or city."
