#4 I wonder how the vote would have gone if all the Mexicans living in the US had voted? Are more of them Obie Socialists, being here for the public aid? Or (more likely) Caldie (quasi-)capitalists, with the initiative to go off to another land (legally or not) and take crummy jobs in order to provide for their own?

#5 Mexico vote draws expatriate attention
A Pew Hispanic Center study found earlier this year that 36 percent of Mexicans surveyed in the United States favored President Vicente Fox's National Action Party, PAN, whose election in 2000 ended 71 years of one-party rule. About 14 percent each favored the Democratic Revolution (Obrador) and the once long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party. The study also found that a lack of information combined with tough registration requirements hurt Mexico's first attempt at mail-in voting for expatriates. Relatively few people signed up to vote from abroad before the Jan. 15 deadline – 40,876 from 80 countries. Election officials estimate about 4 million were eligible to vote from the United States alone. The Washington-based group surveyed 987 Mexican-born adults by telephone.
