Deja vu?

I was reading about the recent presidential election in Mexico, and the course of events sounds strangely familiar. A leftist candidate and conservative candidate have an extremely close race, the initial count indicates that the conservative is the victor. However, the vote count is so close, a recount is necessary. Throughout the recount, the indicated winner changes back and forth, and in the end the conservative candidate still wins. However, that is not the end of the story, the leftist candidate, not willing to loose in a fair fight, appeals the decision in court, accusing the conservative of fraud and cheating.

I couldn't help but remember the 2000 presidential election here when I started hearing about this. Do you think the result will be the same? You'd think Politicians would learn that whining rarely pays off.
