My boyfriend is addicted to the web site...The Raw Story"...they recently had a story about the Mexican elections...that stated that 3 million votes were found in the garbage!!!They were votes from the poorer areas(which is large area in Mexico)....I hann't seen anything about this on the regular news shows..(CNN,MSN) since there are many people here from other countries, I was wondering if they have been reporting this elsewhere(outside US)This seems like such a huge story to bury....I now our current US administration has aleady congratulated the leader that "won" but why are no news shows picking this up....Merdoc doesnt own all our news stations...(liberal bias in the news, indeed...what could be more absurd)... :lol:

Well, at least they are better than they used to be. The PRI used to win every election and now they have lost the presidency for the second election. That in itself is an improvement as is a close race between 2 parties. Hopefully things will continue to improve.
