Middle of the Night, Mexico City

Coming up to 11pm Mexico City time, and very confused reports of the presidential election result... we're expecting the electoral commission to give some kind of information.
But since they said the election had gone swimmingly while we were still interviewing frustrated voters who had waited hours only to be told there were no more ballot papers for them, we are wary of taking anything they say at face value.
In the square, the Zocalo, they're claiming victory for left-winger Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador - but that's not what the partial figures are showing.
While I'm waiting, I can upload some of the photos of the past few days....

European Union Monitor Jose Salafranca says the real news is that so many wanted to vote.

You are just too close down there, trying to make trees interesting in a very dull forest. Cahn't be done old boy.
Like making 'news' out of Futball.
Really interesting: Was the two minutes of dead air we had in NYC at minutes 49 & 50 an editorial comment ?
