Once upon a time in Mexico

Posted: July 8th, 2006 | Author: Aaron | Filed under: politics, polls, usa, world |

Greg Palast argues that the recent vote in Mexico was not “clean.”

There’s something rotten in Mexico. And it smells like Florida. The ruling party, the Washington-friendly National Action Party (Pan), proclaimed yesterday their victory in the presidential race, albeit tortilla thin, was Mexico’s first “clean” election. But that requires we close our eyes to some very dodgy doings in the vote count that are far too reminiscent of the games played in Florida in 2000 by the Bush family. And indeed, evidence suggests that Team Bush had a hand in what may be another presidential election heist.

    True, Tyger. But the Federal Electoral Committee, or whatever its name is, has not yet given a definite outcome of the elections. I am very much afraid this is not the last word on the Mexico Presidency.
