Military BlogsShades of 2000 U.S. Election- Mexican leftists Mass
Reminiscent of the 2000 presidential election(how Bush stole the 2000 election) in the US, even after a recount the Left, Libs, Democrats, Socialists, and the like in Mexico can not believe that they could have lost an election. They of superior morals, intellect, and policies could not have gotten fewer votes than the opposition "somebody miscounted, we were robbed"!
Supporters of Mexican leftist begin massing
Presidential election protests will call for ballot-by-ballot recount
Updated: 12:08 a.m. CT July 12, 2006
MONTERREY, Mexico - Supporters of leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador headed to Mexico City on Wednesday, leaving mountain towns and sprawling industrial cities to demand a ballot-by-ballot recount.
Protesters gathered outside the country’s 300 electoral districts before heading to the capital, where a mass rally is planned for Sunday to denounce official results showing conservative Felipe Calderon as the apparent winner of the July 2 election.
Carrying signs that read “Vote by vote! No to electoral fraud!” and wearing yellow, the color of Lopez Obrador’s Democratic Revolution Party, dozens of the candidate’s most fervent supporters began a 60-mile walk from his home state of Tabasco.
Lopez Obrador has filed legal appeals challenging the nearly 244,000-vote advantage Calderon had after an official tally of the more than 41 million votes cast. His party has submitted dozens of boxes stuffed with videos, campaign propaganda and other alleged proof of election misconduct.
Throughout his political career, Lopez Obrador has used street protests to pressure the government and the courts.
Last year, as Mexico City mayor, he led huge street protests that eventually forced President Vicente Fox’s administration to drop a legal case that would have kept Lopez Obrador out of the presidential race. Fox and Calderon are from the same party, the National Action Party.
On Saturday, more than 100,000 of his supporters gathered in Mexico City’s central plaza to hear his allegations of fraud.
