mr. musavi is warning that he will fight them and that there is dishonesty. >> if the election does go to mr. ahmadinejad, is there a matter of he recourse as far as his opponent is concerned? can he call for a revote or are there other avenues he can take? >> no, not really. there is no official avenues. the only kind of appeal is to the supreme court leader, ayatollah khomeini, as mr. musavi has already been appealing him to say do not a allow irregularities to be committed in this election, but mr. yike quiek has made it -- mr. ayatollah khomeini has made it clear that he will not overturn the results, so it seems that there is know official recourse. the only hope that he has is his supporters could also vent their anger about this, so it's a very difficult thing to do in iran with such high security state, and certainly this morning, there were a few protestors, maybe a couple hundred out on the streets in front of the interior ministry. they were dispersed immediately by police, so the hope of a popular uprising in response to this is very minimal. >> we have read news accounts that
