Whenever an election is to be held in an independent country, Western officials and especially the Americans start crying foul in order to undermine the result of the elections because they know the outcome of the elections are not in favor of them and ant-West or independent candidates are the winners.
In June and immediately after Iran’s Guardian Council announced the final list of presidential election contenders, American media outlets and officials started their attacks for undermining the election in Iran. The White House issued a statement coinciding with sharp criticism of Iran’s electoral system from Iranian rights activists and U.S. conservatives as neither free nor fair.
A White House National Security Council spokesperson said, “Iranians should be allowed to exercise their right to choose their own leaders and freely participate in the political process, including during elections.”
But these officials seem to have forgotten the farce in the 2020 U.S. presidential election wherein Trump accused the rivals of cheating in the election and he and his fans have not even yet conceded the defeat and they still believe Trump has been robbed of victory. In 2000 the presidential election, the U.S. had seen another farce when Democrat candidate Al Gore and Republican rival George Bush ignited a controversy in the election in Florida State and the court was forced to interfere in the saga. Now, imagine the U.S. with such records tries to criticize elections in other countries.
According to a new poll conducted in the U.S., a majority of Americans are concerned about having access to ballet, while 72 percent of Republicans have said that voter fraud is their highest priority.
In the NPR/ PBS NewsHour/ Marist Poll released on Friday, 56 percent of respondents said the priority should be “making sure that everyone who wants to vote can do so.”
While, 41 percent opposed voter fraud, saying that the focus should be “making sure that no one votes who is not eligible.”
Eighty-five percent of respondents who identified as Democrats and 52 percent of those who identified as independents favored voting access, compared to 72 percent of those identifying as Republicans said that voter fraud is their highest priority.
The poll comes as Republican-led states are trying to pass sweeping voting reforms tightening up rules at the ballot box, which will deny many Americans their voting right.
Several states, such as Georgia, Arizona and Florida, have passed controversial laws aimed at restricting voting.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday delivered a potent blow to the Voting Rights Act (VRA), ruling that a pair of GOP-backed Arizona restrictions could remain in place.
The decision came after the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) appealed for the fast-tracking of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Now with such a distrust regarding the U.S. election system dominating the country, American officials try to save their face by blaming other countries and accusing them of unfair election system or vetting.
Iranian people have always showed the West that they decide their own fates by themselves and they will not let other countries like the U.S. decide their fates. The U.S. preferred a pro-West candidate to win the election in Iran but whatever they had done went down the drain and a principlaist candidate, Hojjatoleslam Seyed Ebrahim Raisi, was elected by the nation to take the helm of the next government in the country.
So it is better for Americans to resolve their own internal problems and election system to avoid further protests regarding the vote rigging in the country.
Iranians know it well that the U.S. officials are not their well-wishers because if they really were well-wishers, they would have lifted all unilateral sanctions which have crippled the daily life and health of the common people.
Human rights, freedom of expression, fair election, equality of genders and etc. are all issues that the U.S. and Westerners claim of supporting them but in practice, they are all violators of those issues and people in their countries are suffering.
So we advise the Americans to stop their nonsense regarding Iran or any other independent country’s election and to mind their own business because independent and freedom-loving people never pay heed to the American nonsense.
