Protestors step up the heat in Mexico City for counting votesAuthor

Today, protestors in Mexico City shut down the financial district to demand that their votes be counted. Unlike apathetic North Americans, Mexicans are taking to the streets, saying no business as usual until their votes are counted.

Lopez Obrador, the candidate of the poor, consistantly led all polls prior to the election for President in Mexico. Yet somehow Calderon, the candidate of the rich, was declared the winnder by a tiny and much disputed margin.

Mexico has a long and sordid history of election fraud,so people have decided to say ENOUGH, and have vowed to occupy Mexico City every day with protests until the ballots are counted individually.
