I think they were so shocked that

Just like the Baninter problem, nobody would tell the king that he was naked....

In Santiago there are people wandering around the Junta Municipal with the mochilas waiting to hand them in...

It is on CDN, Miguel Guerrero and Alicia Guerrero, that played the tape where President Mejia recognizes defeat and congratulates Leonel Fernandez.

Just saw him, he recognized that the PLD is victorious. And out they went!

 

[h.erickson]

The incoming PLD needs to start placing impediments as soon as tomorrow, next thing you know there will be no one to hand the power on 16 Aug, they have all left the country disguised as women.

that'll be the day, or didn't you see what they did with Jorge Blanco, he never went to prison, he was "house arrest" and since he had "heart problems" he had his check ups in miami......

 

[Dandman]

Our time...............

Now is time for the U.S. to do the same thing in our election.

 

[Dolores1]

When President Hipolito Mejia was asked if he had called his contender Leonel Fernandez to congratulate him, Mejia said on TV that he was sending his congratulations by his statement accepting defeat on TV.

Ironies of politics... it had to be President Mejia who came forth, when the institution in charge of the election showed its weaknesses and political slant.

I don't understand why Leonel has won if the numbers only give him 51% of 2.93% of the polling stations. Why aren't they releasing more numbers?

But I'm happy, of course!

(PS You guys are so lucky you have a day off tomorrow...)

Jane, the current president has said that his party's internal count confirmed the trend with 12% of the votes counted, therefore he aknowledges it's futile to resist.

.....and out he goes..... a sembrar yuca (should I translate?)

 

[sadex76]

Because as I said on another post each party gets a summary of the voting in each table and unlike the JCE does not have to manually inspect the ballots. Since their own delegates signed the voting acts at each table they are accepted at face value. Delegates fax these into party headquarters and at this time PRD had already computed 90+% of tables in the country versus the JCE's 3%.

The JCE has also been slow due to political slanting but it seems that Hipolito, probably under strong pressure from foreign delegates and the US, finally admitted what their own numbers and that of other parties' computer systems say, that he lost the elections. A nice way to get good graces from the next president and leave all his other cronies hanging.

It stil shocks me that 36% voted for that party. This is the party that brought back clientelism to passports, DMV, and other gubernmental offices where those corrupt practices had been eliminated. They efficiently took civil administration to the 80s... and people still voted for them. They showed arrogance beyond belief, became extremely wealthy before all our eyes and people still voted for them. Obviously people who get some sort of benefit directly from the party or fall for their outdated and dirty marketing machinery.

I don't understand why Leonel has won if the numbers only give him 51% of 2.93% of the polling stations. Why aren't they releasing more numbers?

I doubt it's going to be that easy...he's got 3 months to leave office, right? I have a feeling the party has just started for Hippo...

Thanks, amable! This is great!

(I still find it strange - I'm just reading about it now on elcaribecdn.com and it says he said the PRD have "projected" 54% for the PLD - that's only 4% more than 50 - why aren't they cheating and doing the things we were so sure they would? It all seems too easy...)

Is getting scary, the PLD went down a few fractions of a percentage point to 51.11%, I just don't believe the bold-headed dude or his "good faith".

 

[amable]

Remember 2000?

Is getting scary, the PLD went down a few fractions of a percentage point to 51.11%, I just don't believe the bold-headed dude or his "good faith".

Also remember that in 2000, Danilo Medina the then PLD candidate aknowledge defeat when the PRD had less that 50%. He recognized that the rejection to his candidacy had been overwhelming. I cross my fingers and hope Mr Hippo is returning the favor to the dominican people here.

 

[Jane J.]

I remember thinking then too, why the heck is giving up before it's over? And after he did, they stopped talking about the results altogether.

Edited to add: amable, where are you watching your numbers from?

Oh, yeah, and sadex good point - it should have been a lot less for the PRD. Maybe 35% of that 36% was through cheating - they are capable of that! And who would have thought they'd be such quick counters - has the PLD said anything back yet?
