News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Mexico's top electoral court yesterday unanimously rejected leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador's demand for a complete recount in last month's presidential election, setting the stage for a new wave of protests in the country's deepening electoral crisis.

The seven-judge Federal Electoral Tribunal sharply rebuked López Obrador's claim that widespread human errors and some instances of fraud cost him the July 2 election.

Instead, the court ordered a recount in 11,839 of the 130,000 polling places in a historic ruling that defended the integrity of the nation's electoral system.
