Mexico: Explaining the Credibility Gap in Mexico’s 2006 Presidential Election, Despite Strong (Albeit Perfectable) Electoral Institutions (2006)
|
While none of the vote-annulling claims made by Mexico presidential election loser Andrés Manuel López Obrador were backed by reliable evidence, he raised questions about the election’s credibility. This article, written by Todd A. Eisenstadt and Alejandro Poiré, claims that while part of the explanation lies in López Obrador’s ability to frame the election within Mexico’s now-defunct tradition of fraudulent elections, obstacles to full electoral transparency in Mexico do remain, and of a sufficient magnitude to justify further electoral reforms according to the authors.
