Bolivians riot as election hangs in balance
(Worthy News) – Rioting has erupted in at least nine cities around Bolivia over claims of fraud in a presidential election held Sunday that could hand leftist incumbent candidate Evo Morales his fourth term.
Angry crowds have gathered in several cities, including outside of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal where votes are being tallied in La Paz. Accusations of election fraud emerged when the tribunal suddenly halted a live count that initially showed Morales and conservative rival Carlos Mesa likely going into a runoff.
With 97% of votes counted, Morales had a leader of 9.42 percentage points over Mesa. He needs a 10-point lead to avoid a runoff vote and clinch the presidency. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
