The leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is claiming an electoral fraud and he says that he`s sure of his victory despite the Electoral Federal Institute is supposed to be quite honest, do you think it`s possible an electoral fraud against the leftist force in Mèxico?

No. It's just become the fad to not bow out gracefully in the interest of your country. Obrador refuses to admit defeat. That's all.

As with Bush/Gore and Bush/Kerry, the elections in Mexico were so close that the result could easily be manipulated.
We will never know for sure whether there was fraud, but the reports of the external inspectors suggest that any irregularities at the voting places did not change the result.
Unlike the American results in Florida (2000) and Ohio (2004).
So who's got a democratic deficit now?

If you doubt it, you don't know Mexico very well. There's a reason why the PRI party set the world record for members being presidents for 90+ years.

I think it's unlikely because as far as I know, the results were in line with exit polling (which outside of America is still considered to be quite accurate).

Possible yes, proabable no. I am reasonable sure that there was fraud on both sides.

Yes. Anything is possible. In this case it might even be likely.
