FORMER NICARAGUAN PRESIDENT MONITORS U.S. ELECTION

Former Nicaraguan President and Sandinista leader, Daniel Ortega, went to Ohio to monitor the polls and ensure that voting machines were not tampered with and that every vote was counted. “I saw Diebold technicians going in and out of the voting booths with their Philips’ screwdrivers all day long,” Ortega said. “And people were standing in line for 12 hours, but their names were not even on the voter rolls. U.S. officials should come to Nicaragua and see what an honest election is.”
