Says something like this...

An analysis of discrepancies in the mexican presidential election results.

The mexican presidential election on July 2 remains hotly contested. Felipe Calderon of the PAN (National Action Party) was found to be ahead of Andrés Manuel López Obrador of the PRD (Coalition for the Good of All) by about 244, 000 votes or 0.58 %, after the second tally of votes that took place on July 5. However, the vote has been challenged by the López Obrador campaign.

On August 5, Mexico's Federal Electoral Tribunal ordered a recount of 11,839 ballot boxes, or about 9 % of the total. The recount took place between August 9-13, but as of this writing (August 30), the TRIFE has not announced the ballo box toatls for the recounted results.

AND THE DID NOT, BECAUSE WAS CLEAR THAT PERSONEL OF THE TRIBUNAL, WAS PRESSED OR EVEN COLUDED WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF FOX TO AVOID THE REASONABLE COUNTING OF THE BALLOT BOXES BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY POLYTICAL AND ECONOMICAL INTERESTS ON GAME FROM PANISTAS AN PRIISTAS.

"The recount found variations in the data of 81% of the ballot counts. The votes obtained by López Obrador show practically no variation. Hence he would only lose 43 votes out of all the recounted boxes. In contrast, Felipe Calderón receives on paper 13,335 votes that never existed in 4,949 polling places (43% of the sites reviewed). On average, he was given 1.14 extra and illegitimate votes per site. The PAN has tried to dismiss these additions as "comprehensibble human error", but these errors only went one way".

After presentation of proofs in this writting the Conclusion was this:

The fact that about half of the ballot boxes in Mexico's presidential election have "adding up" problems is enough to warrant a full recount. The evidence from the most recent partial recount, insofar as it is known, provides further reason to do a full reconut. The lack of transparency and withholding of information in the two partial recounts that have been conducted also undermine the credibility of any result that does not allow for a full recount".
