I don't think it is wise to buy dollars with oyur pesos if you earn pesos here (like me) because everything is too uncertain, but there is a very good opportunity that dollars will increase in relative value after the election, so I am holding on tot he dollars I have here and elsewhere..

One problem is that since it is election day and dry laws kick in the night before, few bars will be open.
