New York, NY —
The Mexican elections have still not been finalized, and voters demanding a recount are expected to rally for a second time Sunday. In New York, some Mexicans are expressing disappointment over the election results.
REPORTER: It's been more than a week since offical results showed conservative candidate Felipe Calderon beating Manuel Lopez Obrador by just over 240-thousand votes. The leftist candidate has filed legal appeals challenging the results and his supporters are calling the elections fraudulent. In New York, some Mexicans agree. At a restaurant in Corona, Queens Sergio Sanchez said democracy doesn't exist in Mexico and the protests should continue.
SANCHEZ: And If they started protesting here we would support them just like we've demonstrated for an amnesty here.
REPORTER: Diana Abreo, a waitress at the restaurant doesn't support either candidate and says the protests won't change anything:
ABREO: Protest or no protest the President will remain the same, there's nothing that can be done now.
REPORTER: Under Mexican law, recounts are only allowed in polling places where irregularities exist. The European Union has said it found none. The government has until September 6th to declare a winner.
