Created one of the year's most important stories. Incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed victory with over 65% of votes.

Finally, the final election results were too one-sided for many in Iran to believe. Because so many of the nation's youth were involved and paying attention, the landslide victory by President Ahmadinejad made some people cry, "fraud!"
