Mexico confusion over 'unreliable' Baja California vote count


Any comments on this ---

Supporters of governor candidate Francisco Vega of the National Action Party (PAN) waves flags in Tijuana, 3 July The opposition candidate was first declared the winner, then told he must wait

It's not because they're ultra-civilized. It's because they're used to it all.
Been there....done that....soooo many times.

Are you trying to say Mexico is a forerunner in clean elections? :lol:

Not at all.

With the voter ID cards required for all, it just surprised me that such a problem should arise in Baja.
