DEMOCRACY
Elections Bring Significant PRI Defeats
On Sunday, November 10, elections were carried out in the states of Mexico, Coahuila, and Hidalgo. In the first two, voters elected mayors and representatives to the state Congress; in Hidalgo, they only elected mayors. The general trend in all three states was high levels of absenteeism, and significant losses for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
