MEXICO: THE OFFICIAL PARTY REJECTS A RECOUNT OF ALL ELECTION VOTES
Globovision ^ | 5 July 2006

Posted on 07/05/2006 3:50:31 PM PDT by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

El partido oficialista Acción Nacional está dispuesto a que se vuelvan a contar los votos de las casillas electorales donde hay dudas o errores, pero se opone a recontar los 42 millones de sufragios por contravenir la ley, declaró este miércoles su vocero, César Nava. "Nosotros estamos dispuestos a que se abran los paquetes en aquellos casos en los que se acredite la excepción prevista en la ley, que es básicamente que no coincide el resultado en el acta (de un partido), con el acta que tiene en su poder el consejo distrital", dijo el vocero a W Radio.

The official party National Action is in agreement with recounting votes from ballot boxes where there are doubts or errors, but is opposed to recounting 42 million votes in violation of law, said its spokesman César Nava this Wednesday. “We are agreeable to opening the packets in those cases where it is allowed by law, that is basically where something does not concur with district law,” the spokesman told W Radio.

"Fuera de ese supuesto, no estamos dispuestos a permitir que se vulnere la legalidad de la elección", añadió. "Esto no es un asunto de opinión, sino de legalidad", dijo. Si se cuentan de nuevo los votos de la elección del 2 de julio, no será necesario acudir al Tribunal Federal Electoral (TRIFE), propuso por su lado el presidente del Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), Leonel Cota Montaño. "No podemos reconocer un proceso que presenta graves líneas fraudulentas, viciado de origen, por el grupo en el poder, que bajo ninguna condición pretende dejar la dirección del gobierno", advirtió Cota. Según el PRD, cuyo abanderado presidencial (junto a otros dos partidos) es Andrés Manuel López Obrador, en torno a un tercio de las casillas electorales (130.500 en total) presentaban "inconsistencias".

Outside of this situation, we are not agreeable with permitting invalidation of election legality, he added. This is not a matter of opinion, but one of legality, he said. If they count the votes of the July 2 election again, it will not be necessary to call a meeting of the Federal Electoral Tribunal (TRIFE), proposed by the president of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), Leonel Cota Montaño. “We can not recognize a process that presents severe evidence of fraud, tainted by association with the group in power, that by no means is pretending to leave power, warned Cota. According to the PRD, whose presidential candidate is Andrés Manuel López Obrador, (along with two other parties) all three each presented ballot box (130,500 total boxes) inconsistencies.

El conteo oficial de las actas electorales comenzó este miércoles, y es el que debe dar un resultado definitivo del ganador de los comicios, según el IFE. En ese conteo los representantes políticos cotejan sus copias de actas con las que tienen los vocales de las mesas. En algunos casos los representantes de la izquierda "tuvieron la desfachatez de presentarse con actas alteradas, como en Tijuana (noroeste)", aseguró el vocero del PAN, sin dar más detalles.

The official count of the ballots began this Wednesday, and it (Instituto Federal Electoral – IFE) is the one that should give the definitive result of who is the winner of the process, according to the IFE. In this count the political representatives are comparing their ballot records with those that the voting officials have. In some cases, the leftist representatives “had the audacity to present altered ballots, as they did in Tijuana (northeast)”, assured the PAN spokesman, with giving more details.

It's because the PRD observers are intentionally stalling the count on those states.

With 90.74% of the precincts reporting, Calderon trailed by 1.18%. The pace of the erosion will need to quicken some.

Seems somebody is out there counting until they get the number they want.

BTW - Calderon's PAN is claiming that the PRD is deliberately delaying the vote tallies from being announced in PAN-friendly areas.

"Vázquez Mota commented that in city Hidalgo and Morelia, Michoacán; in Tijuana, Baja California and in city Victory, Tamaulipas, representatives and militants PRD members tried to delay to the act calculation bursting in into the advice, presenting/displaying false acts or trying to take the facilities."

I want pics. :)

Yep. If Kerry had won Ohio fair and square, we would all be bitching about Wisconsin which no doubt was stolen from us in 2004. Fortunately, it didn't matter. I'm hoping we win the governorship in WI so we can pass voter ID and hopefully some other things that will clamp down on cheating. Not being American, my understanding is that the vote counting is done at the municipal? level so nothing can be done to stop the Rats from manufacturing votes in their 3rd world cesspool blue cities like Detroit, St. Louis, New Orleans and Philly. If the pubs grew a pair and became really hard assed and decided they were going to let Jesse cry "racism" until he was blue in the face, what could we do to prevent voter fraud in these cities?

With 92.00% of the precincts reporting, Calderon trailed by 1.02%. PAN is now getting enough to win for the moment. What they needed to win was 57% of the remaining vote 20 minutes ago, not it is down to 56%.

At this rate, we are going to probably a clear call in 30 minutes, and a final in 45 minutes.

It seems to me that PAN needs to carry the remaining vote by ~12%. But remember, it's not a two-party race. So the margin required wouldn't be 56-44, but rather something like 41-29.

The trend line makes it look very close, perhaps less than .1% (not to say the trend line won't change; it is obvious that these aren't random votes being reported).

Calderon had a 24% advange in Baja California over AMLO in the preliminary count.

If most of these votes are coming from Circumscription 1, Calderon has got it in the bag. Calderon won Cicumscription 1 by 24%.

The pace of the erosion in the last hour suggests a very tiny PAN margin indeed, maybe .2%. But straight lining on this one is a mistake.

It is on crusing speed for the last 3% counted or so, to a near dead ass tie.

These numbers are confusing, but positive ones with each change of the count in the second column, mean PAN is gaining enough to win, and the negatives mean it isn't.
