Modern problems require modern solutions: they didn't ban the corn, they banned the delivery method. The esquites vendor is now the most protected man in Morelos, and he knows it.
Cuernavaca bans elotes for the Grito so nobody throws corn at officials
Cuernavaca has banned the sale of elotes preparados in its downtown area from 7pm on September 15 during the Grito de Independencia ceremony, after past incidents in which corn cobs were thrown at officials — including a 1994 case when then-Governor Jorge Carrillo Olea was struck by one on the municipal palace balcony. Esquites (corn in a cup) remain legal to sell, a municipal official confirmed, noting the restriction lifts once the ceremony ends and Majo Aguilar and the Sonora Santanera perform.
