Talk:1988 Mexican general election

message: IMHO,  presenting this as an "election" is highly problematic.  The PRI is well-known to have rigged elections since their rise in 1929;  a rigged election under an oppressive regime,  is not the same as a free election in a democratic state.  Or should we report the "elections" of the Soviet Union,  or communist China,  etc.,  as such?  If we do,  we do a grave disservice to the truth,  and participate in the fraud.
I guess the question is-- how do/should we present elections,  which are known to be shams?  Perhaps there are examples (I'll check the recent Russian and the previous Iranian elections,  but in fact in this case,  we have more evidence of fraud/rigging than in those cases).
I don't know who removed the POV tag (not going to check history),  but POV disputes should be resolved in talk first,  no?  POV tag is reasonable as a mechanism here,  and not bombing,  as I can only do so much to figure out how to push the article to neutrality,  and the article could use the attention of others.
