MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's electoral court will name ruling party conservative Felipe Calderon president-elect on Tuesday and reject claims the fiercely disputed July 2 presidential vote was unfair, sources said.

They said the court, made up of seven judges, would rule the election was clean and confirm Calderon's narrow victory over leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who alleges fraud.

"Everything appears to indicate the vote will be unanimous," a source close to the court said on Monday.

2. Well that's more attention than our media usually give to this vital
issue.

I think the Mexicans will stand up and refuse to acquiesce to this coup. :yourock: :headbang: :yourock:

5. no narconews yet...
No word yet at narconews.com, thus far a good source.

But todays story does seem to imply that Yucatan is about to experience mass civil unrest...

I don't want to see armed conflict, but i also don't want to see Calderon "installed"...

:scared:

6. precisely...
That's where my "that's all. that's it" response was coming from. It just can't be that simple.

If they do install him, will Obrador make good on his "parallel gov't" threat?

What wil the mexican military do?

Ugh, it'll be a mess...
