<TD><TT><BR><FONT size=2>As in Florida in 2000, and as in Ohio in 2004, the <BR>exit polls show the <BR>voters voted for the progressive candidate. The race <BR>is "officially" too <BR>close to call. But they will call it - after they <BR>steal it. <BR><BR>Reuters reports that, as of 8pm eastern time, as <BR>voting concluded in <BR>Mexico, exit polls showed Andrés Manuel López <BR>Obrador of the "leftwing" <BR>party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) leading in <BR>exit polls over Felipe <BR>Calderón of the ruling conservative National Action <BR>party (PAN). <BR><BR>We've said again and again: exit polls tell us how <BR>voters say they voted, <BR>but the voters can't tell pollsters whether their <BR>vote will be counted. In <BR>Mexico, counting the vote is an art, not a science - <BR>and Calderón's ruling <BR>crew is very artful indeed. The PAN-controlled <BR>official electoral
<BR>commission, not surprisingly, has announced that the <BR>presidential tally is <BR>too close to call. <BR><BR>Calderón's election is openly supported by the Bush <BR>administration. <BR><BR>On the ground in Mexico city, our news team reports <BR>accusations from <BR>inside the Obrador campaign that operatives of the <BR>PAN had access to voter <BR>files that are supposed to be the sole property of <BR>the nation's electoral <BR>commission. We are not surprised. <BR><BR>This past Friday, we reported that the US Federal <BR>Bureau of Investigation <BR>had obtained Mexico's voter files under a secret <BR>"counter-terrorism" <BR>contract with the database company ChoicePoint of <BR>Alpharetta, Georgia. <BR><BR>The FBI's contractor states that following the <BR>arrest of ChoicePoint <BR>agents by the Mexican government, the company <BR>returned or destroyed its <BR>files. The firm claims
not to have known that <BR>collecting this information <BR>violated Mexican law. Such files can be useful in <BR>challenging a voter's <BR>right to cast a ballot or in preventing that vote <BR>from counting. <BR><BR>It is, of course, impossible to know whether the FBI <BR>destroyed its own <BR>copy of the files of Mexico's voter rolls obtained <BR>by ChoicePoint or <BR>whether these were then used to illegally assist the <BR>Calderon candidacy. <BR>But we can see the results: as in the US, first in <BR>Florida, then in Ohio, <BR>the exit polls are at odds with "official" polls. <BR><BR>In November 2004, the US Republican Senator Richard <BR>Lugar, in Kiev, cited <BR>the divergence of exit polls and official polls as <BR>solid evidence of <BR>"blatant fraud" in the vote count in Ukraine. As a <BR>result, the Bush <BR>administration refused to recognise the Ukraine <BR>government's
official vote <BR>tally - proving once again that republicans are <BR>incapable of irony. <BR><BR>The foreign mainstream press has already announced, <BR>despite the polling <BR>discrepancies, that Mexico's elections were fair and <BR>clean, which would be <BR>a first for that country where López Obrador's party <BR>has seen its <BR>candidates defeated by "blatant fraud" before. The <BR>change this time is <BR>that the fraud is simply less blatant </FONT><BR><BR><BR>-- <BR></TT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></div></html>
