How does an Iranian election candidate get so few votes in his home area?

One candidate's number of votes was fewer than the number of campaign staff he had. Wouldn't a candidate be assured of the votes of certain people, like his mum and his campaign staff? Surely anyone who wants to rig an election could at least take the bother to make the numbers convincing?

2. The answer to that may come at the next general election in the UK in Gordon Brown's constituency!
3. They didn't even try to cover up this farcical election. The despot has done the same as Mugabe and unfortunately this could have very far reaching implications for the western world. It's time we found new sources of oil and let creatures like him and his revolting side kicks gets the same come- uppance as the 'rulers' of Dubai are receiving now their bubble has burst. Sand to sand, just like clogs to clogs in three generations.
4. Well this happened in a college election, one guy who ran for the president got no votes, because he was absent on the voting day
