If you are from north of the Rio Grande/Bravo and want to vote in the US election this year there are new absentee voter laws in place for this election.

See http://mexico.usembassy.gov/eng/citizen_services/voting.html for information on getting registered.

MotherF, how will this affect your ability to vote Romney in this election?

The last two US elections I've been in Mexico, the two parties sent stumpers to Mexico to rally the vote, with one being a lesser known Bush cousin in 2004.

I'm not joking with this question at all. Does it really matter whether, PRI, PRD or PAN wins. The only candiate who could make a difference might be Lopez Obrador and I do not think the establishment will allow him to win even, if it means stealing the election!!!!! So give me a reason why it would matter?????????????????????????????????????????

The next president of the U.S. will have a lot more on his hands then relations with Mexico, so he will be very preoccupied which might well be what the 2 countries need the U.S. not sticking it's nose in Mexico's business. This will give the next Mexican president time to work on internal problems as well. This could be a win, win situation for both sides.

I just hope the next U.S. president understands that he doesn't need to be looked at as interfering in Mexico's affairs. This would be the best outcome for both countries going into next year.

Why should I care BBB? I care, because I am living in Mexico and what happens in the election could have a direct impact on my life and on the lives of people I know. The problem is no matter what Lopez Obrador does the other parties will never allow him to become president they'll find a way to steal the election like last time, if necessary. I experienced a stolen election myself in 2000 in the States so I can at least feel something close to what you must have felt when Obrador was cheated out of the presidency here.

Believe me the powers that be both here and in the U.S. will prevent anyone they do not like from becoming the president of the respective countries. These powers that be have no problem with ignoreing democracy. I will also, beg that I do not know all the players and I hadn't matched up Lopez Obrador and the PRD I knew the other parties, but not the PRD. I hope that the election goes well. In the States I wouldn't venture a guess right now, it could go either way.

BBB I understand you explianing to me the politics of the country, but I knew the man not the party and I will be more informed from now on, but come on you don't have to be nasty and angry. I made a mistake and I apologized and I believe that, if anyone is interested to learn about a country and it's people it is to their credit. If people make mistakes then they should educate themselves which I have been doing, but you come off as, if I killed someone in your family. Maybe I should have introducted myself to this board a little more gradually, but either way I would not act in such a manner to you, if you came on a board and made mistakes about U.S. politics. By the way I have been living in Latin America for more than a decade ask me about Colombian politics where I have spent most of my time and I would surprise you, but I have come to Mexico for work and who knows Yes, I can leave anyone can leave a country that is not their homeland, but that doesn't mean they will leave and I believe it's a bit presumtuous on your part to you are practically trying to throw me out the door. For whatever reason you and some other people on the board seem to dislike me not evryone, but enough. I'm not going away and I intend to voice a more informed opinion. Being nasty is not exactly a good way to show yourself in a good light. Again I'm here to work and who knows what the future may bring.

One last thing, before I sign off are you trying to cut off my right of free speech by being so nasty, if so I am a veteran of a number of political campaigns back in the U.S. you will have to do a lot better in order to get rid of me. I hope in the future you and I can share our points of view on many different topics in a civil manner.

I would say we should transfer our discussion to the Mexican election topic this is suppose to be about the other 2012 election otherwise known as the U.S. election.
