6:05pm- Univision's local newscast (New York City) reports that absentionism in the New York metropolitan area is high. One Mexican barber interviewed says the "lack of information" discouraged Mexican expats to vote. Meanwhile, Telemundo's local newscast interviewed Mexican expats who acknowledged that they harbor distrust against the presidential candidates. Reuters says that only 40,000 of the millions of Mexicans living abroad voted via absentee ballot.
5:50pm- CNN en Español repeated that something I forgot to mention a while ago- the Zapatistas are having a small rally in Mexico City urging abstentionism from today's elections. It looks doubtful that that will be the case as one electino expert interviewed predicted that today's turnout may supercede the 75% mark from 6 years ago.
