"....only a third of voters showed up in the country's most violent state, Chihuahua. Drug gangs hung four bodies from bridges in the state capital on election day. Less than 40 percent voted in Tamaulipas, where gubernatorial candidate Rodolfo Torre was killed five days earlier."

Mexico is a mess no matter which party is in power.

Swinney, I know Mexico is a violent, corrupt cess-pit, etc. but I see in these results several positive things. For starters, the elections were fairly clean. No one is screaming fraud. The two parties split the victories. No one is threatening to take to the streets because of the results. Fifteen years ago this would have been unthinkable. Things that we take for granted about democracy have put down roots in Mexico.

“Drug gangs hung four bodies from bridges in the state capital on election day. Less than 40 percent voted in Tamaulipas, where gubernatorial candidate Rodolfo Torre was killed five days earlier.”

With the pandering to Mexico and all points south and the disregard for our own elections as recently shown by the DOJ in it’s refusal to prosecute black panthers at the polls, when we get amnesty we WILL see this in the USA.
