Election Security Breach: Ballot Boxes Transported in Unmarked Van

Electoral Ballot Boxes Transported Insecurely in Mexico City Mexico City - On June 2nd, 2025, a video surfaced showing election officials transporting electoral packages in an unmarked minivan with minimal security. The footage, captured by journalist Alberto Valiente for Latinus Diario, shows officials carrying ballot boxes from a polling station in Miguel Hidalgo. Valiente's report raises serious concerns about the security of the election process. "They're using a regular route combi, with no security," Valiente reports in the video. "We asked the police present if there was any special escort, given these are ballot boxes, but there was none." The video shows the van, lacking license plates, moving through city streets. A second car, presumably belonging to the news crew, follows. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in the election security system. The lack of protection for the ballot boxes raises questions about the integrity of the election process and the potential for tampering or theft. The video underscores the need for improved security protocols to ensure fair and transparent elections. The video concludes with the van arriving at a district electoral board, where the ballot boxes are presumably secured. However, the initial lack of security remains a matter of concern.
