the responses in this thread are really weird so far.
If you had looked at the vid date you would see it was uploaded July 10th.

Well new being relative. They were introduced in large scale due to HAVA. That was under Bush (Jr). A printout wouldn't really verify anyway. I have posted vids showing printouts that are wrong, but the only way you know is because you were there in person to see who voted.

Some paper trail is needed, but does no good if they don't use it. That is usually the case.
The electronic voting gig is very lucrative. Straight paper is far superior.

The most conservative party (PRI) won the election. The ones who are protesting are the left. Even Fox reports it this way.

I guess this proves the "lamestream" media is not as left as the righties claim it is.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, slammed the Mexican left's insistence that the July 1 presidential election be overturned and an interim president be named to organize a new vote as "absolutely out of line."
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who was the candidate of a leftist coalition led by his Party of the Democratic Revolution, or PRD, said in a press conference earlier this week that the election must be invalidated due to massive vote-buying by the PRI.

Call FOX and ask them why they "blacked out" an anti conservative protest. Maybe they didn't think anyone would be interested in that event. I knew about the protest because it was in fact NOT blacked out, but widely reported.

I don't think the OP understands that these protests are a left wing movement

Not ONCE?

I heard it on NPR right after the election. They had a report pretty much every day in the week preceding and the week after.

If he had known it, he would have understood why FOX blacked it out.
