Political: Election Reporting in Nicaragua

A recent article published in the Christian Science Monitor talks specifically  about the voting irregularities in Nicaragua´s 2011 elections and the deception that most likely occurred in the process. There were several problems in the electoral process:

1. The stalling of official documentation for election observers, resulting in their delayed admission to polling stations, especially those which historically voted for the liberals (opposition party);

2. International and local observers being denied access at key polling stations, even though these observers possessed appropriate documentation;

3. The non-existence of government reporting data on official results.
