Final recourse rejected: Francisco Olvera governor-elect in Hidalgo

As expected, the Mexican federal electoral tribunal, TEPJF, rejected the last complaints by the Hidalgo Nos Une coalition of PAN-PRD and its candidate Xóchitl Gálvez, who had demanded the annulation of the 2010 gubernatorial election in Hidalgo.

As magistrate Salvador Nava noted, the claims were "eloquent and heated, but without effective legal grounds."

Magistrate Pedro Esteban Penagos accepted that several of the complaints might have caused the annulment of the election, but that they were not well enough documented.

Gálvez said she would accept the tribunal's decision, as did the Hidalgo branch of the PRD.
