Mexico's president faces setback in midterm elections 

Millions of Mexicans voted Sunday in midterm elections after a campaign that was marred by attacks, kidnappings, and murders targeting candidates, campaign aides, and election officials. Some observers estimated the number of people killed during the campaign at about 90, while others estimate that the election-related death toll is more like 150. Initial results indicated that Mexico's ruling political coalition appeared to have lost its qualified majority in the lower house of Congress. That would prevent President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who is halfway through his six-year term, from major constitutional reforms he has been pushing without cooperation from opposition parties, although his coalition is projected to hold onto a simple majority.
