As announced by IFE officials on Sunday night, the district by district count began today. As I write this (8:35pm local, 9:35 Eastern), different outlets are reporting, but it's around 84% and the results are
quite different:
-- 84.84 % of polling stations tabulated (20:24 hrs local time)
Andrés Manuel López Obrador: 36.51 %
Felipe Calderón: 34.74 %
Roberto Madrazo: 22.2 %
Patricia Mercado: 2.71 %
Roberto Campa: 0.94 %
This can still change though...
The pundits are already talking about how the Mexican stock market has been moving. Some alarmists are making comparisons to Salvador Allende and Hugo Chavez.
These trends can change at any moment, as districts are reporting from all over the country.
I'll be updating continuously, so stay tuned.
