Reality is often inconsistent

That's why the PRD never, never engages in corrupt acts to get its way and the PAN and the PRI always do. It balances out. It's like freaky statistical patterns that look like genius at work. The larger a number is, the more likely it will have freaky artifacts, because "randomness" includes harmonies. If a set of large collected numbers is too random, it raises suspicion that it's been manipulated.

Well, this seems to be turning into a really massive conspiracy with thousands of people involved, many of whom were paid by the PRD to represent them but sold themselves instead to Bush. This is inconsistent with my statement above that all perredistas are honest. But, hey, it takes all kinds.

You've read the accusation, I'm sure, that the PDR had to pay poll watchers 200 to 300 pesos each. So this would seem to indicate that they had ample voters in those districts, right, but they were all working double shifts at the maquiladores and couldn't get away on Sunday to poll watch. Well, whatever. What you can expect from hired poll watchers? They just sell themselves to the highest bidder.

In Guanajuato these traitor zombies were physically appearing again and again at polling stations with newly scrubbed fingers and fresh photocredentials with the right pictures but dead people's IDs. The PRD precinct workers did not notice this because they were on the take. It was like The Night of the Living Dead. They all turned into vegetables and voted for Calderón.

The problem with your arguments is that you snap at suppositions and then wield them as if they were established facts. It's better to wait a day or so before repeating the latest accusation. Otherwise you get stuck with having to explain that the ballot stuffing video wasn't really ballot stuffing, maybe, but it was illegal. The simple fact that it was a deceptive argument that blew up in AMLO's face is ignored.

If the Bushbots in the IFE controlled the computer count with secret source code tricks, why would they need zombies out there with authentic, but utterly fake voter IDs? That's inconsistent, too.

The 311,000 extra votes may or may not exist. But if other qualified statisticians examine the claim and find it to be false, you'll dismiss them as paid shills. Or you will go on to something else. It will become irrelevant.

Reminds me of Sumate.
