While Mexico appears to be on its way toward electing the first female President in its history, voters at the Los Angeles consulate are reporting difficulties in their attempts to vote in the historic race.

While speaking to KTLA’s Shelby Nelson, voters expressed frustration in learning that the consulate, located on 2401 W 6th Street in L.A., only had 1,500 ballots available for those who hadn’t registered to vote online prior to the day of the election.

“It wasn’t organized. There wasn’t enough staff, there wasn’t attention for the elderly,” one voter told Nelson, translated from Spanish. “There weren’t a lot of things that we needed.”

Many voters waited in the pre-registered voters line for hours before realizing that there was a separate line for non-registered voters. By the time many of them realized the mistake, it was too late.

“A lot of people didn’t vote because there were only nine boxes, nine computers for 10,000 people,” one voter told Nelson, translated from Spanish. “They’re only open from 7 in the morning to 5 in the evening. It’s not enough time for everyone.”

The Mexican election was expected to see a large turnout, perhaps the biggest in the nation’s history, as two women were the leading nominees.

Former Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum of the left-wing Morena party was leading the preliminary voting as of 10 p.m., according to the Associated Press. Only about 20% of the vote had been counted at the time of that update.

A popular chain selling LEGO products has had several locations across Southern California burglarized in the last couple of months, owners say.

Multiple owners of “Bricks & Minifigs,” a nationwide chain of franchised LEGO stores, told KTLA’s Jennifer McGraw that they believe the same person is responsible for each of the burglaries.

“His car is on every surveillance camera that we have, he wears pretty much the same thing in a lot of the videos,” said Katherine Leuschner, owner of the Whittier location. “I can’t believe he hasn’t been caught yet.”

Owners tell KTLA that five locations — Whittier, Fullerton, Costa Mesa, Riverside and Ontario have been burglarized in the last eight weeks. Another, in Anaheim, was broken into, but nothing appeared to be stolen.

Surveillance videos showed a similar scene for each — the man broke windows, entered the stores and goes straight for the minitaure figures section with a plastic trash bag and a headlamp.

“He’s in and out in such a short amount of time,” said Nancy Randal, owner of the Anaheim store.

Between the five stores, about $100,000 worth of products have been stolen, owners say. Leuschner claims that about $10,000 in figures were burglarized before the suspect got spooked by a noise near her Whittier store.

Media magnate Rupert Murdoch, 93, has married for the fifth time, his corporation, News Corp, confirmed Sunday.

Murdoch and Elena Zhukova, a 67-year-old Russian-born retired molecular biologist, wed Saturday in a ceremony at his vineyard estate in Los Angeles’ ritzy Bel Air neighborhood.

Photographs of the newly married couple were released by News Corp; the couple had announced their engagement in March.

Murdoch was most recently married to model and actor Jerry Hall. They were wed in 2016 and divorced in 2022.

Zhukova is the ex-wife of Alexander Zhukov, a billionaire energy investor and Russian politician. Their daughter, Dasha, was previously married to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who used to own the Premier League soccer club Chelsea.

Last fall, Murdoch stepped down as leader of both Fox News’ parent company and his News Corp media holdings. His son, Lachlan, took his place in a media empire that spans continents and helped to shape modern American politics.

In 1952, Murdoch inherited a newspaper in his native Australia from his father. Over decades, he built a news and entertainment enterprise that became prominent in the United States and Britain, including ownership of such notable newspapers as The Times of London and The Wall Street Journal.

Fox News Channel, the 24-hour network founded in 1996, has profoundly influenced television, becoming a popular news source among many conservative U.S. audiences and politicians.
