The severe shortage of electoral ballots and the overall slowness of the voting process caused several annoyances and a general discontent among Mexicans residing in the United States who crossed the border last weekend to vote in one of the 18 "special" voting centers in Tijuana.

Hernandez and a group of friends went down to Tijuana to vote and enjoy the rest of the day in downtown, but their pleasure time was cut short severely. They will return on the same day to National City, it's almost 6 o'clock, the voting centers are about to finish and they are not certain if their efforts will pay off.

Luis Arechiga, a Mexico City native who now lives in National City has been waiting for two and a half hours and his line is so slow it appears it's not moving.
