Extraordinary electoral developments in Mexico which Julio Huato, over at El Machete 2006, is covering with skill:

Is the IFE retreating?

Andrés Manuel López Obrador was up to something when he insisted during his campaign that “there were no conditions in Mexico to commit a fraud.” Now I see what he meant: his “secret” key was (is) the effective popular control over the results of the electoral process!

Via la Casa del Plan de los 3 Puntos forum, El Sendero del Peje blog, and a sprawling and complicated web of virtual links, e-mail networks, etc., a group of committed netizens are organizing, cooperating, communicating, and getting things done to expose the electoral trickery that, without a vigilant citizenry, would have propelled Felipe Calderón to victory.

One thing these netizens have been doing tirelessly is collecting a vast stock of digital photographic evidence showing the discrepancies between vote tallies at polling places and the data recorded on the PREP web site of the IFE. The effect is being felt. The IFE is starting its retreat.
