The 2006 Mexican election was decided by a margin of less than 100,000 votes, and the proclaimed “liberal” winner is contesting the results in a legal challenge. Huge rallies are taking place by supporters of the loser and counter-protests for the winner are sure to follow. This all sounds very familiar to us norteños. We solved it; our Mexican friends will, too. What’s important is that Mexico adheres to the rule of law and principles of democracy and avoids the lure of corruption. Good luck, amigos.
