  Absentee votes are not going to make much of a difference in Mexico's July 2 presidential election, said Todd Eisenstadt, a political scientist at American University.
  
  The vote of Mexicans living outside the country this year "will probably be a dress rehearsal for the vote abroad in 2012," he said.

  Todd A. Eisenstadt, an American University professor and author of a 2004 history titled "Courting Democracy in Mexico: Party Strategies and Electoral Institutions," said the tribunal's rulings show a consistency that protects the judges from claims of bias.
  
  The judges have built "a very strong canon of electoral law on what used to be a quagmire of fraud," he said.
  
  That record is a rough guide to how the judges might rule on the presidential race: They have been willing to recount ballots, but only selectively.
  
  Lopez Obrador is asking for much more, however, and he has pointedly refused to say whether he would accept defeat.
  
  Lopez Obrador's 836-page legal challenge alleges that the PAN exceeded campaign spending limits, used funds diverted from the treasury, pressed poor voters to back Calderon by threatening to cut off public welfare benefits, slandered Calderon's opponent in televised ads, and benefited from Fox's refusal to abide by a ban on his involvement in the campaign.
  
  The legal drama is heightened by the tribunal's record of 4-to-3 splits on key rulings.
