By Rajesh Mirchandani In a hotel corridor in west Los Angeles three teenage girls were singing a song in Farsi while at least 100 people stood in line nearby.

It was a patriotic song that many recognised.

But the singers were not the only ones keen to make their voices heard.

This was one of three impromptu polling stations in hotels in Southern California where Iranians living in the US could vote in their country's presidential election.

And vote they did.
