  July 6 people came out to vote in large numbers, and the day passed calmly.
  Shortly after 6 p.m., when it was assumed that information would flow by the minute, Gobernación Secretary Manuel Bartlett, told Commissioners the CFE to the modern system of computation had fallen.
  After it was learned that the first results of the boxes, which came from Mexico City and the State of Mexico, favored dramatically Cuahutemoc Cardenas.
