Five categories, never conflated
The difference between these is the whole point. An attacked election is not the same as a falsified one.
The recorded numbers do not reflect the votes cast.
Process violationsUnequal media access, repression, illegal financing, vote buying, misuse of state resources.
Foreign interferenceCyberattacks, hack-and-leak, covert foreign financing, impersonation of media or institutions by a foreign state or proxy.
Information operationsTroll farms, fake local-media networks, covert political ads, coordinated inauthentic amplification — foreign or domestic.
Statistical anomaliesPatterns in the data worth examining — explicitly not proof of fraud.
A finding sits in exactly one category. Colors and icons carry the same meaning everywhere on the site.
From the case files
What was proven — and what was not
The clearest test of a trustworthy record is whether it can hold both statements at once.
Mexico 2024 General Election
What is established
- Process violationsCorroborated
The campaign was Mexico's most violent on record: ACLED documented over 330 violent incidents targeting political figures between 1 March and 2 June 2024, at least 95 of them fatal, and at least 553 candidates requested state protection; more than 80% of candidate-targeted incidents concerned local races, largely driven by organized-crime competition and local power struggles.

What is not established
- Result falsificationDebunked
No substantiated falsification claims: Gálvez briefly urged supporters on election night not to let the results 'be hidden', then conceded the following morning. Results were produced by hand counts at roughly 150,000 polling stations with party representatives present, tallied in public district sessions consistent with the quick count, and the roughly 32-point margin left no plausible basis for fraud claims.
More detail
On 14 August 2024 the Superior Chamber of the Federal Electoral Tribunal completed the final count, declared the election valid and declared Claudia Sheinbaum president-elect, dismissing the arguments in 240 challenges to district counts and in three further suits, including requests to annul the election, and confirming the contested results.
