Mexicans sift ballots in search of a winner

“Mexico began a marathon review of vote tallies on Wednesday to determine whether the conservative candidate Felipe Calderón really won the tight presidential race, while his leftist challenger, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, insisted that he was victorious and threatened to ignore the final count.

But he said he did not think López Obrador would accept, adding that the two men had not talked since the election.”
