Mexico Election Turmoil
"Gambling at Rick's" really did not shock anyone in the movie "Casablanca", and allegations of cheating in a Mexican national election are rather par for the course. I am not surprised that over half the votes are having to be recounted, but I have no idea how an ordinary recount will resolve allegations of vote buying. Was there sufficient irregularity to sway the outcome? Was misconduct limited to the winning PRI? Doubt will never be satisfied in a country so afflicted with institutional corruption. All I can say to those who want good government and a transparent process in Mexico is "good luck" ("buena suerte").
