He, along with high-attention opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi and other guy Mohsen Rezaie, will meet with the Guardian Council tomorrow to consider complaints. Keep in mind, though, that they’ll be talking to this guy. And this guy is transparently in favor of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. So, this will be a tough day for these three dudes. • source
