Chicago Tribune ^ | June 3, 2024 | LAURA RODRÍGUEZ PRESA

Way before 5 a.m. people eager to cast a vote for the Mexican presidential election began to form a line outside the Mexican Consulate in Chicago. By noon, thousands of people took over South Ashland Avenue, forcing police to close off streets and set up barricades to control the lines.

For the first time, Mexican nationals could cast a vote in person at consular offices around the world, in a historic election where the country is set to elect its first woman president. Voters will decide whether Claudia Sheinbaum, aligned with the left-wing party Morena, or Xóchitl Gálvez, with the center-right party PAN, will succeed Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, a populist and creator of the Morena movement.

With only nine voting booths at the Mexican Consulate, the process was lengthy and frustrating for some in Chicago — some waiting more than 10 hours — but they were excited and committed to voting.

I suspect that voting in person would have been far easier than voting in a different country that you invaded. Why is this so hard for them to understand?

Better question:

Are the dems holding a voter registration drive among those in the line?

Too bad they won’t go back to Mexico, permanently, to MMG, rather than sponge off of the USA.

How come we don’t get to vote in the Mexican Elections?

Oh yeah, they have Voter ID, and actually one of the most tamper-proof systems in the world (look up Mexican Voter ID, and you’ll see). So, also, they don’t have to worry about the 10 Million or so migrants heading to the US and crossing their territory - no way can they mess up Mexico’s election.

All those Mexican Azteca’s will soon be running the show in Chicago and elsewhere. Then they will be shoving the ghetto blacks to the back of the bus again.

Modern day black Americans have no idea what real enslavement looks like. For example the way Dominicans treat Haitians. That is the future for those black democrats. They voted for this. /spit

I hope they get who they want in Mexico, and decide to return there.

Yes. If these people line up to vote for 10 hours is there any doubt they will be voting in November?

Leftist Sheinbaum has won. What a shocker.

Would have been a perfect time to round up and deport many thousands of illegal aliens. Too bad that those who can do it won’t.
