that was not much of a filtering. there was karrubi and moein from the leftists that were their main candidates, but they didn't catch enough vote. karrubi was near ahmadinejad on the first round, but on the second round, ahmadinejad won with 17 millions votes, 7 millions more than rafsanjani. that was because of his false promises about better economic plans and so on. people were fooled, not forced.
I voted Moein first round, and rafsanjani second round, you see, I love ahmadinejad a lot!!!
