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."

Welcome to Free Republic. I red your profile and you're probably a retread, certainly a Patsy. You like Jerome Corsi? Anyhow, I think I smell ozone...

Under Mexican law, there will be NO RECOUNT just because the margin was supposedly "a statistical tie". Calderon's margin is currently .57% with 99.99% reporting. That's about 235,000 votes. There are likely no more than 4,100 votes left to count. That's not a statistical tie - it's a clear win.

There is no such thing as a margin of error in the final counting process. It is FINAL, absent a successful Obrador petition to the special Mexican election court. It is unlikely (but possible) that the court will call for a complete recount.

Right now the pro-globalization candidate (conservative) is leading by approximately 200,000 votes, or .4 percent, which is a statistical tie. But that's just the tally of the votes. A recount will decide the election.

He's a Recount Poster Boy.
