Supreme Court Votes to Destroy 2006 Ballots

Supreme Court President Minister Ortiz voted "yes" to the Federal Electoral Institute's mandate to destroy the 2006 presidential election ballots. Destruction of the ballots had initally been delayed by the request of political magazine Proceso to have access to all the documents involved in the election process. The final argument was that the Federal Electoral Court already made a ruling on the validity of the 2006 election.
Failed 2006 presidential candidate Lopez Obrador does not recognize the result of the election and has always demanded a ballot per ballot recount.
