1.5 Million Rally, Will They Do A Recount?

Amid allegations of election fraud that are becoming exhaustingly familiar, Mexican progressive leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is calling for a recount of the recent presidential election.


MEXICO CITY — In the wake of growing public protest to force authorities to recount the vote, including a rally last week of over 1.5 million people in this city’s central square, more evidence of electoral wrongdoing during the July 2 elections continues to surface.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, presidential candidate of the leftist coalition For the Good of All, told a rally here July 16 that they have discovered that 60 percent of “acts” (voting results of each poll) have some sort of falsification, up from 30 percent reported last week.

The common defects found were: votes exceed the reported results; votes cast for Lopez Obrador were not counted, while votes for Felipe Calderon, presidential candidate of the National Action Party (PAN), were inflated; and votes cast for Lopez Obrador did not equal the number of votes cast for his running mates for the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. Lopez Obrador also said there are a million and a half more votes counted than people who actually voted.

My question is: They got One and a Half MILLION to march on Mexico City.

How many can we muster, when they try to steal yet another election here?

And what will we face if we do march?
