Yesterday was election day for president in Mexico.. the preeliminary result gives a tight lead of the right-wing candidate. BUT evidence has been popping out about descrepancies between the official results and the actual results... There's probably a large movement in the country of people taking fotos of the posted results in voting boots, I doubt the media will talk about this, i'm doing my bit taking pictures... now the system to compare the results is down.. this is evidence of a possible electoral fraud... is kinda exciting to be a part of the people involved in stopping this.
I hope the electoral institute backs down from this attemp of fraud as I said the media probably won't report this unless it's too evident. So now you know... remember.
It looks like strategy learned from the US elections... first they put a large effort in communicating that the election was tight, a tie, so they had more time to do their dirty bussiness, and finally let the court or whatever decide who won.
more on this at 9 :)
