Citizens wearing masks vote in the legislative elections in Buenos Aires June 28, 2009. Argentina has confirmed more than 25 deaths from the new strain of virus, also known as swine flu, putting the South American country third after Mexico and the United States in the number of fatal cases. Argentines cast ballots in congressional elections on Sunday and are expected to throw out allies of President Cristina Fernandez in a rejection of her interventionist economic policies and combative style.
