19. Here is the summary from Mexican Press

During the election, and before the election of July 2, the PRI engaged in vote buying in what is called COLONIAL POPULARES, amomg them Juan Escutia and Nezahualtcoyotl, the geography matters little. These are low income areas.

For your vote, they gave voters cards with money, called in Mexico Monedero Electronico, from the chain store Soriana, where after proving they voted "the right way" they could redeem anywhere form 200-700 credit value and get stuff at the store. Most people got rice, beans and oil, as well as some small electronic goods.

The other was for Telephones, cards with 200 minutes that mostly young people (the target for this one) could use for this. In mexico most cell service is by the minute, and you pre buy your minutes.

The PRD is accusing the PRI of having bought just about five million votes that way.

Now, it's not even close to the point where the elections will be cancelled, and if they were... oh the mess. But it is enough to put a MAJOR stain on this future President. Given the differentials between Pena Nieto (THE PRI guy) and AMLO (The PRD and left guy), not enough.

Now if they find this was systemic across the country and dig oh, another 20 million votes, then you're talking and a major crisis, of incredibly high stakes.

The students, from both private and public universities, do not want want the PRI in charge again. They don't want the PAN either... but that is what they are protesting...

Now some here will claim electronic rigging. but nope, the PRI went back to it's roots. It used to be a Torta and a coca cola.
