Mexico Election


On Sunday Mexico elected a new president, six governors, 128 senators, 500 federal deputies (member of the lower house of Congress), 579 state legislators, 876 mayors plus a new government for the Federal District (Mexico City). Enrique Peña Nieto apparently won the presidential election but official results will not be announced for several days. There is no hurry, since inauguration day is not until Dec. 1. According to one interpretation of the Maya calendar, the world will end three weeks after that.
