Mexican officials to burn ballots

Tagged:

“Electoral officials said Tuesday that they will burn the ballots from the disputed presidential election despite calls from both candidates to spare them.

Luis Carlos Ugalde, chairman of the Federal Electoral Institute, or IFE, said in a letter to President-elect Felipe Calderon that a 1990 law clearly called for the burning of the ballots from the July 2 election.

“The IFE is obliged to destroy electoral documentation once the electoral process is concluded,” Ugalde wrote.”
