Mexico votes on Lopez Obrador's 'transformation' at mid-term

Mexicans on Sunday were electing the entire lower house of Congress, almost half the country''s governors and most mayors in a vote that will determine whether President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador''s Morena party gets the legislative majority it needs to continue his Fourth Transformation of Mexico. His critics have depicted the elections as a chance to stop the still-popular Lopez Obrador from concentrating more power and weakening checks and balances. The president says the opposition is dominated by conservatives who oppose his campaign against corruption and wasteful spending.
