An AFP fact check of the viral Section 4279 comparison found that the figures came from two different polling stations, so they do not show that votes for Gálvez were moved to Sheinbaum in the PREP.
What was said
… The Open Society Foundation has a huge office in the city, which he was a part of, as does Davos. Now, there's more technical elements of voter fraud.

The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. AFP's fact check of the viral posts about Section 4279 in the 2 June 2024 election says the vote tallies being compared come from two different polling stations (casillas), and that they do not prove votes were taken from Gálvez and given to Sheinbaum.[2]
Contradicts. The same fact check says the viral claim wrongly asserted that PREP data capture removed votes from Gálvez and added them to Sheinbaum, and that the claimed fraud was erroneous.[2]
Context. The PREP begins publishing results about two hours after polls close, and the fact check's account of that process gives no support to a vote-switch in Section 4279.[2]
Context. Other sources in the set (AP, Chosun, KJZZ) cover the 2026 INE resignation and audit over corruption allegations and do not address Section 4279 or the PREP tally claim.[1][3][4]
