OK, we now have better results ... and I’m now reading them correctly. (The previous post used the wrong numbers.)
In the Senate, the PRI-Green coalition won 18 states, 36 seats. They came in second in 10 more, for 46 seats in total. In the P.R. vote, though, the PRI will only pick up 10 seats, and its Green allies another two. That’s 58 seats, seven shy of the 65 needed for a majority. The
House still might be PRI. 174 districts for the PRI-Green coalition, plus 80 P.R. seats, for a bare majority of 254.
Large-scale recounts are underway. To be honest, I do not understand why they don’t just change the law and make a full recount automatic.
