Hundreds of people voted in person at the Mexican Consulate in San Diego, but hundreds more stood in line and were not able to cast their ballots
Mexico's ruling party scored big wins across Baja California in Sunday's historic election, including the race for Tijuana mayor, according to preliminary results. The Morena party was on track Monday to win several — if not all — mayor races across the state. Ismael Burgueño, 40, the former state leader of the party, was poised to become the city's next mayor with a strong lead over veteran television journalist Mari Carmen Flores for the PAN.
Marina del Pilar Avila acknowledged the legislators, both federal and local, who she expected to win the “carro completo,” or the “complete vehicle,” for her party. Turnout in Baja California was nearly 48 percent, according to data from the state’s electoral institute. On the other side of the border, hundreds of Mexican nationals voted in person for the first time at the Mexican Consulate in San Diego.
