Looks like it's a circular argument: Who votes in that particular government?

My comment was not an argument, circular or otherwise. I reported a historical fact.

All Mexicans by law are required to vote, whether they obey the law or not. The question for many Mexicans is not who votes but whose vote counts.

That's one reason Mexico spent a huge chunk of the previous century in death dealing civil war and why some think it is on the verge of repeating that history at the beginning of this century.
