Thanks for posting the Chatham House numbers. Based on that I’ve transcribed the data into Excel. I did one chart which I found interesting and is included in the spreadsheet.  It is the vote count graphed sorted left to right by largest to smallest Provinces. It sure appears below they tried to make it look close in key large areas like Tehran (but still giving it to Ahmadinejad) and then making it ridiculously lopsided in the other large provinces.

It sure does, doesn't it?
