Subject:      Election Fraud and IT in Mexico: Source Sought
To: mailto:DEVEL-L@AMERICAN.EDU

A few years back, there were reports circulating about fraud in
Mexican national elections, with computer operators told to just enter
results for one party (?or presidential candidate?) at some point
after it appeared the other was winning.

Can anyone point me to a source - online or book/article - in which this is written up? It was certainly in the UK computing press, but I just can't track down the article.

Many thanks Richard Heeks
