Submitted July 4, 2006 - 7:00 pm by Justin DelacourNo, Jules, vacationers aren't an "important" part of any real assessment of systematic electoral exclusion.
At this point, Jules, I think Al is right. It's as if you just argue for the sake of arguing. What exactly is your point, Jules? That the privileged who take vacations are systematically discriminated against by the electoral system because they have to stay in town for election day if they want to vote??? Oh, the injustice.
For God's sake, Jules, you can't compare the systematic electoral exclusion of thousands upon thousands of poor migrants (both inside and outside Mexico) to the minor inconvenience of not being able to vacation on election day. I'm sorry, Jules, but when the debate devolves to this level of absurdity, it's clear that someone is riding cloud nine.
That's not what I recall, Jules. Reports in the Stockton Record and the San Antonio Express indicated that the PRD attempted to facilitate the voting process for migrants in the United States but that Mexican consulates did not assist with the process.
