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.

Mexican court approves Congress vote results

Reuters

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's top electoral court rejected complaints about the July Congressional election on Wednesday, giving conservative candidate Felipe Calderon's party the largest stake in the legislature.

The electoral judges must declare a president elect by September 6 at the latest.

Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador lost the July 2 presidential vote by a hair and his Party of the Democratic Revolution, or PRD, has challenged the result, alleging fraud.

His party had also contested some of the results of the Congressional election.

Calderon's ruling National Action Party will have 52 seats in the Senate, more than other parties but still short of a majority, the electoral court said.
