Fraude: México 2006

Fraude: Mexico 2006 follows the complex and controversial events surrounding the 2006 Mexican presidential race between former populist Mexico City mayor Andres Manuel López Obrador and conservative, pro-business Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, and the bitter aftermath. The Presidential race was a virtual tie, but electoral officials determined that the Calderón Hinojosa had edged López Obrador by 243,000 votes, out of 41 million cast. López Obrador and his legions of supporters naturally raised accusations of widespread voting fraud, leading to a civil disobedience campaign that continues to this day.
