We don't trust our OWN election results any more, why should we trust Mexico's...?



with the increasing likelihood that u.s. elections have been rigged and/or stolen, why would there be any reason to believe the same couldn't have happened in mexico in order to insure the election of a u.s.-friendly president on our southern border...?
Mexico's top electoral court on Saturday rejected a ballot-by-ballot recount in the disputed presidential election, angering supporters of leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador who have kept the nation in turmoil for weeks.

In Mexico's central plaza, thousands of protesters watched the court session on a huge screen, chanting "Vote by vote!" and drowning out the judges' statements. Representatives of Lopez Obrador walked out of the session in protest.

Tens of thousands of Lopez Obrador's supporters have camped out in the capital's center for a week, disrupting business and traffic to press their case that their candidate was cheated of victory in the July 2 election and to demand that all the votes be recounted.

In their first public session on the dispute, the seven judges of the Federal Electoral Court left open the possibility that they could order a partial recount. The tribunal has until Sept. 6 to declare a president-elect or annul the elections.

i hate to be sounding like some sort of conspiracy nut, but... i guess i just don't think that, after all that's come out over the past six years, we can any longer sit by and pretend that these kinds of things don't happen... i'm not inclined to offer my trust to anyone in power, ever again... not any more... maybe not ever...
