It looks like the PRD may have won the local Sindico elections in Sosua/Cabarete from the maps above. Do I see this correctly?
PLD lost in Sosua. Sindico and Duputada went to the PRD.
I cannot believe that Vladimir won't be there anymore, I tough he was doing a great job for Sosua!So Vladimir will have to yield the mayor's seat to Illiana Neuman?
... J-D
Do not discount Leonel running again in 2012, as he's the new Balaguer (minus the tortures), but he may run again because "the country needs him and the people want it..."
He can't because the new constitution that he rammed through, prohibits more than two consecutive terms, but he is eligible to run again in 2016. So its two terms, one off for presidential elections as long as the person wants to keep going.aranoid:
But of course he can ram another updated constitution again.:cheeky:
I knew it was going to be bad for The PRD this time, but didn't expect it to be this bad. They even swept places which are very traditionally PRD bastions (i.e. Cotui, Azua, San Jose de Ocoa, etc).

You calling shenanigans?Reminds me of that election when Trujillo 'won' 95% of the vote......

Except the present vote wasn't fixed, as far as we know.
Sort of true...I guess if you don't count all the government resources that were used to buy votes. Sure PRD did it too, but to a much lesser scale as they are not in power thus have to use their own money. We seem to be regressing in this matter. Parties have bought votes since the times of Balaguer, but it seems this is getting worse and worse every year whereas some people won't even vote anymore if they are not given money, appliances, or something...They flagrantly setup shop right in front of the voting stations to buy votes and the JCE does nothing about it.
No, but then yes.
The PLD excelled at using it's position of rule to crush the competition's efforts, in decibels, size and location of purple banners and numbers of jeepetas covered in their colors as well as TV-time in purple-tainted "news"-reports.
... J-D.
