180728451_45ce789750_m.jpgThe “partial” recount of votes in the ever-controversial, never-ending saga of the Mexican presidential elections is revealing “errors” in polling places, according to Spain’s 20 Minutos newspaper, which cited this example:

One example, at polling place 2220 there area 21 missing ballots, and in another in Jalisco state 80 votes were registered as being for the “Nueva Alianza” party when they were actually for López Obrador’s coalition, “Por el bien de todos”.

Ricardo Monreal, representative for the leftist coalition said “there is no perfect crime, but there was electoral fraud against López Obrador and they’ve left their fingerprints everywhere.”

Monreal stated in a press conference that, so far, they have found tampering of voting stamps in 15 districts, “which is enough for judges from the Electoral Tribunal to reevaluate the decision that was made last Saturday to not accept a recount of 41 million votes.

Said tribunal rejected AMLO’s request for a full recount, stipulating that only 9% of polling places would be subjected to the recount process.
