1. i heard it on the news on DN
and it said the video of the ballot stuffing was availabe on their homepage, i looked and didn't find it.
Just this bit of the story (pretty much what i heard)

" Lopez Obrador Releases Video of Apparent Ballot Stuffing
The campaign for Mexican presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has released preliminary video of what it says proves he was cheated out of last week’s Presidential election. In a video shot in the central state of Guanajuato, the footage shows an apparent supporter of conservative candidate Felipe Calderon’s National Action Party stuffing a ballot box on the day of the elections. Lopez Obrador’s campaign says the footage is the first among many it has received from across Mexico. Calderon was declared the winner by just over half a percentage point. Meanwhile, Lopez Obrador’s campaign is criticizing foreign governments who are already backing Calderon as the winner. President Bush is among a handful of foreign leaders who have called the conservative candidate to congratulate him. Calderon cannot be declared president-elect until Mexico’s electoral court rules on the case.
