Now Hipolito is being made a hero for his early "quitting". The truth is he was forced by the state department on orders from Collin Powell due to the heavy pressure being put on by Congressman Robert Menendez. News coming from DR to Menendez showed that major fraud had taken place in Santiago and Santo Domingo voting districts and that the shortfall of this fraud was still too large to make it effective to steal the election for Hipolito, forcing the PPH to go to their plan "B", which was military take over of voting records ready to be sent to JCE(Junta Central Electoral). But this plan, which actually was carried over, in some cases without military force, but with help from local politicians like Mayor Lois and Batista, still came up with too few votes to turn the election around. By then, Menendez, as early as 6:15 pm had received results from exit polls indicating a huge Leonel victory exceeding 64% of the total vote and only 24% for Hipolito.
So four major generals who head the armed forces began to organize the action plan, which included mobilizing close to 50,000 armed men, many soldiers in civilian clothes, and as many as 200,000 altogether, including barrio thugs properly trained prior to the elections, to carry over an election coup. The plan collapsed as soon as Menendez made the call to Powell. Powell directed the U.S. ambassador, who reluctantly(since he is a PPH man who loves Hipolito)followed orders to put together the meeting where Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado took the leading role. This was not Agripino's idea, but Powell's. The monsignor was chosen for appearances only, but the U.S. ambassador was told to stick next to him all the time.
PLD "generals" were ready on the other side to lead a rebellion just in case, with several key military posts already in place, with rebellious younger officers, who were 80% in favor of Leonel. Major bloodshed was prevented, but it would have been a very quick defeat for Hipolito's forces nevertheless, since the military power was on the side of the PLD.
This clown, Hipolito was not smart enough to concede. He did not want to do it. His men were reluctant to do it. But the pressure was on, and now he looks like a hero.
The three provinces Hipolito barely won in the border had 20,000 Haitians that were registered and voted for the PPH and nationwide there were close to 150,000 illegal Haitians who voted, mostly in Santo Domingo Norte, Santiago, Santo Domingo Este, Boca Chica, San Pedro de Macoris, Azua, and Monte Plata. Another 90,000 cedulas were stolen or bought and people voted twice .This accounted for almost 6% of the vote, which made the difference in the actual vote that Hipolito will get. Hippo legally had no more than 24-26.50% of the vote. But the fraud was not enough. Junta Central knew about the fraud, but did nothing to stop it. Guido Gomez Mazara led the civilian group of thugs who planned this whole thing, with help from Tomas Hernandez Alberto.
