What's happening in Mexico?
What's happening in Mexico?

The computers say the American backed Calderon won, there is a paper ballot backup, and a small sampling of ballot boxes has been opened and publicly recounted in front of all candidates.

In EVERY box that was opened, 'blank' ballots were mostly opposition votes that the computers miscounted.

It's not that opposition voters are too stupid to vote, the public recount shows the computers are skewing the votes.

There's a funny link there, data on Mexican voters was bought by the Bush team from Choicepoint under the guise of a 'war on terror' contract.
And somehow that data was also available to Calderon campaign team via a password protected website.

The risk here is that the Bush team are doing their election fixing at home too, and this spying is simply part of that.
