Calderón still claiming victory in Mexico elections
3 Jul 2006
The morning hasn’t brought us definitive results in the Mexican presidential elections, but more of the same. PAN candidate Felipe Calderón is still claiming victory and tells his supporters and the press, according to newspaper Reforma: “Announce that we have won”.
Meanwhile liberal party (PRD) candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador says that “he will accept the results of the IFE (Federal Electoral Institute) if there is enough proof to ratify” said results, reports Reforma.
Left-wing La Jornada isn’t giving up that easily and still reports the election as undecided.
Stay tuned into VL as this story develops.

Large numbers of Mexican voters who, took photos of their districts tally sheet found that the results shown by the PREP system online dont match. The differences go from 1 or 2 votes to over 600 per box and invariably favor candidate Calderon. Theres even a website where private citizens are sending these photos.
