Mexico's left-of-center candidate should have won the country's presidential election, according to preliminary research by U.S. and Mexican math and science experts.
Using the government's own statistics, experts using different models concluded that there were patterns indicating that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the candidate for the Revolutionary Democratic Party, or PRD, was going to win.
Depending on which research model is considered, Lopez Obrador had an advantage of nearly 8 percent to 12 percent over Enrique Peña Nieto, candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, the presumed winner.
Although Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute declared Peña Nieto the winner of the July 1 election, people who are unhappy with the results are circulating petitions requesting an investigating into alleged vote-buying and other irregularities.
