The right wing guy beat the left wing guy by .05. The left guy says he'll contest the result "in the courts and in the streets".

There won;t be any significant violence.
The problem is that the margin of difference is so small and there were enough votes not counted for whatever reason to possibly tilt the election.
Both candidates claiming victory before the final results came out was bad on both sides. Its for the Mexican Courts to decide the merit of the PRD's case. At the same time, whomever is found the victory will have won with a miniscule lead and should not consider themselves to have some great mandate. When you win with less then 1% of the vote difference from third place and you could not get 40% of the total vote you should not act as if you have some great mandate.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Nobody would act that way, since neither one would have a majority in Congress, they would have to try to create a coalition.
As far as war goes, no way. Widespread violence? Not likely either.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

Protests, showing up, having his supporters be a visible force, etc. blah blah - there's a long history of political thuggery and manipulation and Zedillo's election in '94 was almost certainly fixed. With results this close, nobody likes to walk away and concede defeat, and there's certainly no trust in the parties or the political system to do much for the people.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016.

This demonstrates that getting rid of the electoral college in the US wouldn't get rid of contests of elections.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

With three parties, Mexico needs IRV.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment
