In other news
Over the weekend an estimated 2.4 million protesters took to the streets of Mexico City this weekend to demand a vote by vote recount. This is a record for public protest in Mexico (the previous being 1 million a few weeks ago). This movement is growing in strength and size.
As expected, our respected and prestigious news media vastly under represents the attendance.. for instance Faux News reported that "tens of thousands" showed up. That is a bold faced lie.
