All people should want the truth about election results to be known. That’s why Jimmy Carter, one of our greatest ex-presidents, focuses on election transparency and fairness around the world.

I published an essay by a young woman in Tehran a few days before the election in which she exclaims her hope and idealism and love (of freedom!)… Reading that viewpoint makes me yearn for her goals to be met, for to be maintained in her city.
