Final Results Confirm Landslide Victory : (PRI) in Mexico's Biggest Statet
(Sorry, I had to modify the title to get it to fit)


Final Results Confirm Landslide Victory for Former Ruling Party in Mexico's Biggest State
The Associated Press
Published: Jul 6, 2005






TOLUCA, Mexico (AP) - The party that ruled Mexico for seven straight decades received just under 48 percent of the votes cast to easily take the governorship of the nation's most-populist state, according to final results released Wednesday night.
Some 1,801,788 voters in Mexico state cast ballots for Enrique Pena Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, Jose Nunes, president of the state electoral commission, said in Toluca, the state capital, 35 miles (55 kilometers) west of Mexico City.

Finishing a distance second was Ruben Mendoza, of President Vicente Fox's National Action Party, who received 936,773 votes - 27.4 percent of the nearly 3.8 million cast during the election Sunday.

Yeidckol Polevnsky, of the left-leaning Democratic Revolution Party, got 918,658 votes - a bit more than three percent behind Mendoza.

Turnout was light in the state that is home to 15 million and is draped over the western, northern and eastern boundaries of Mexico City.

3. Bush learned much from Mexico's oligarchy fascist gov.
And he is trying to recreate it here. Poor workers who don't even earn enough to put food on the table and rich greedy aristocratic amoebas sucking the life blood from every worker. And the USA has always been the enabler of this corruption; if Mexicans could not come here the can would explode in Mexico and the corrupt government would have to deal with the people.
