Contender Alleges Mexico Vote Was Rigged

We've yet to comment on the recent Mexico elections. Let me just say this for starters: the US in 2000 and 2004, Italy in 2005, now Mexico (who else am I forgetting?). These razor thin electoral victories by capitalist class candidates can't be just a statistical coincidence, can they? At what point does the canard "a deeply divided electorate" become clearly bogus? How many elections have to come in just under the wire for the ruling classes for the gig to be up?

"López Obrador ignited the smoldering emotions of his followers Saturday morning, alleging for the first time that Mexico's electoral commission had rigged its computers before the July 2 election to ensure the half-percentage-point victory of Felipe Calderón, a champion of free trade. "

López Obrador also told the crowd that he was organizing a march to the capital Wednesday from all over Mexico, including states hundreds of miles distant.

After López Obrador left the stage Saturday, the crowd lingered. Someone started singing the national anthem, and countless voices joined in its rallying cry: "Mexicans, to the shout of war!"
