I don't know anything about absentee voting in Mexico. Presumably it's allowed, but it may be rare. Probably most is conservative, but if there is provisional voting, most of those are probably leftist proletarians.

The trend is looking terrible. Unless someone can show me a huge number of not-yet-counted PAN votes, Obrador wins.

Let's see what happens when Mexico City bottoms out in a few minutes, here. Less than one percent between them in the latest update.

Thanks. If accurate, it is encouraging news.

I must say this is a very useful and informative thread.

Yep, I think it is quite close to a wrap. Calderon will win by 2% to 3%, maybe less, but it is highly unlikely he will lose.

On the other hand, maybe having an openly leftist thug running Mex. might force congress to admit that Mex. really is not our ally, and do something sincere about the current/continuing invasion?

BTW, we have plenty of illegals from Canada, they even get deported occasionally, they are just not so easily spotted as the Mex's.

We have illegals here from every country in the world, some are just harder to see since they either make a real effort to blend in, or to stay out of sight.

Only the Mex. seem to think they can sneak in and them use their presence to DEMAND special treatment.

LOL

right...

whatever you say.

We want to have friends on our borders. Unstable situations, ala the one to our immediate South, does not enhance the security of the US one bit, wall or no wall.


And no, no way in hell does having a leftist twit in charge of Mexico help the US in any one way.

Is anyone watching Mexican TV? Which is the best coverage?
I'm going to kick myself in the morning I'll be so sleepy at work.

Lopez Obrador supporters gathered in the Zocalo, this city's central square, and shouted, "Fraud! Fraud!" Calderon backers at his National Action Party headquarters chanted, "We did it! We did it."

Nah....

Galavision was providing pool coverage that everyone was carrying, Looks like they've packed it in for the night, and they're carrying wrestling now. La Reforma's front page has the updating results from the automated system. Refresh it on occasion to keep up. You'll find it here:

Thank you. I'll check out Reforma again.

Looks like I'm going to have to watch KMEX ... I think that's Univision. When you don't want to watch Mexican TV it seems like every other channel is Spanish. Now ...

Maybe the long-awaited 'end of the Obrador count' is upon us. For the last ten minutes, his percentage has actually taken its first downard move all night. Unfortunately, Calderon's share also is falling, with Madrazo's count increasing. The percentage margin between the two at the top is now .87.
