Disqualified For Being Too Pretty
Source: The Times

Numerous news outlets are carrying the interesting story of Nina Moradi who was disqualified after being elected for a seat in Qazvin city council by more than 100,000 votes (1,2).

The IR likes to keeps its options open when it comes to "democratic" elections, they can disqualify candidates before the elections, during the elections, and if necessary, after the elections.

Apparently the old mullahs at the city council found Ms. Moradi too attractive to work with. Their faith appears to be too weak to withstand the insurmountable challenge Ms Moradi's beauty posses!
