We here at VL have been keeping on eye out on what’s been going down in Mexico especially on the going ons surrounding the much disputed Mexican presidential race and the fraud accusations surrounding the recounts. There is a new blog out that VL will be watching closely and you should be too if you wanna be in the know about what’s going down south of the U.S. border. The blog, aptly named Electoral Fraud in Mexico contains videos, articles and even PDF files on studies concerning fraud in the race between AMLO and Calderon.
Mexican Elections : Fraud Accusations Still Hang Heavy

3 Aug 2006It’s been over a months since the Mexican presidential elections and still there has been no clear answer to the popular cries of fraud just like there is still no clear official winner (even though Felipe Calderón and Andres Manuel López Obrador will each tell you that he is the winner). According to AlterNet there is…:
…a growing body of credible evidence from mainstream Mexican journalists, independent election observers and respected scholars indicates that an attempt was made to deliver the presidency to Calderón. It includes a pattern of irregularities at the polls, interference by the ruling party and some very suspicious statistical patterns in the “official” results.
It is because of this that supporters of both candidates have been calling for a ballot by ballot recount (which has yet to happen). By far AMLO’s supporters have been the loudest in demanding a recount with rallies continuing every weekend. Just this last weekend Mexican newspapers reported that two million supporters of López Obrador gathered in México City. AMLO said when there is a recount, he will stop calling rallies.
