- Mexican court names winner in disputed election
  Posted by Billbar from CNN
  Felipe Calderon became president-elect of Mexico on Tuesday, two months after a disputed election, when the nation's top electoral court voted unanimously to reject allegations of fraud and certify his narrow victory. Tuesday's long-awaited ruling by the Federal Electoral Tribunal -- which came two months, three days and tens of thousands of pages of legal challenges after voters cast their ballots -- was unlikely to end potentially explosive protests or close the growing political divide gripping the country. Calderon, staying out of sight at the ruling party offices, now must win over millions of Mexicans angry that President Vicente Fox didn't make good on promises of sweeping change -- and fend off thousands of radicalized leftists who say they will stop at nothing to undermine his presidency.

- Mexico's Conservative Near Win as Court Backs Vote
  Posted by Billbar from Truth Out
  Mexico's top electoral court threw out leftists' allegations of massive fraud in last month's presidential election on Monday, handing almost certain victory to conservative candidate Felipe Calderon. Supporters of left-wing candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador have paralyzed Mexico City with protests this month and he has vowed to make Mexico ungovernable if the court declares Calderon the winner of the country's most bitterly contested election in modern history.
