Protests urged as Mexico count nears end
CNN ^

Posted on 07/06/2006 11:54:27 AM PDT by davidnownthen

With 99.59 percent of the vote counted, Felipe Calderon would win even if all the remaining votes went to Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the Democratic Revolution Party. He had 35.83 percent of the vote, compared with 35.36 percent for Lopez Obrador...Less than 200,000 votes, out of more than 41 million cast, separated the two...."We are going to the Federal Electoral Tribunal with the same demand -- that the votes be counted -- because we cannot accept these results," he said. "We are always going to act in a responsible manner, but at the same time, we have to defend the citizens' will."

Refreshing isn't it? I'll be even more impressed if the poster actually reads the posts and replies.

Welcome to Free Republic. There are a lot of broad minded people who read your comments, and this is a GOOD place for exchange of good ideas. Don't mind all of the punches people throw, a few people have a few good ideas, and neither Left or Right has it all together...in the end, we need each other. So, thumbs up, and speak it out. Be prepared to take a few punches, especially if you give a few. This ain't for Little League T Ball fans. I speak up for Mexicans. We all have our world slant. So whoever wins the elections, we're going to unite and stand tall, with great courage. Forget the MSM and SOME crazy bloggers.

You're wrong on this one. Last night's tally is the official vote. Under Mexican law, the tally sheet is it. There can be no count of the acutal ballots unless it is established that the tally sheet has been tampered with or falsified.

So, statistical tie or not, the 200,000 vote lead will be a win.

For anyone who's long peso-denominated investments, ANY investments, an ObraGore win would have been catastrophic.

That's a pretty big deal.

This election will be decided in a recount

It's the recount that is giving us the latest. Of course, the leftist may just insist on recounts until such time as he and his folks can manage to add enough votes to put him ahead, then, like a good leftist, decide that no further counting is necessary.

Hmmmm...

To me a Protest would be to show disaproval, angst, etc, for unfair or flawed governmental actions.

To gather mobs of people to try to thwart, intimidate, and reverse fair and just practices-- is a riot/mob.

Leave it to the lefties (and the MSM) to call this a protest.

De nada. As it happens, I'm a trader, and always think in terms of the effect(s) of political events on markets. It's second nature. Then again, some folks don't, and some do only sometimes (shrug).

FReegards!

"we cannot accept these results," I wonder where they heard similar ideas! If I recall, the left in the USA refused to accept the results or the presidential elections and even now claims that Bush stole the election.
See my user name for an opinion on the mental stability of the left.
