MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexicans went to the polls Sunday to vote for who will likely be the country’s first female president, voicing concerns overwhelmingly about security, from the power of Mexico’s drug cartels down to street-level stick-ups.
They were choosing between two women, a former academic who promises to continue outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s populist policies and an ex-senator and tech entrepreneur who pledges to up the fight against deadly drug cartels. A third, male candidate from a smaller party had focused his attention on the youth vote.
