Practical Method for Mexican Vote Recount

Regarding “Mexican Vote Rift Bad for Business,” Aug. 2:

If the continuing demonstrations in Mexico are hurting business, very quickly it becomes more economical simply to recount the ballots. In fact, if the Mexican government does not avail itself of that obvious remedy, one does smell a rat.

One could even do the recount piecewise, starting with the most questionable regions. As new vote counts come in to be compared with previous ones, one can begin to project the effects, and thus the case will build to either count even more votes over again or abandon the quest.
