Election fraud in Colombia could have altered 20% of election results: report
by Adriaan Alsema May 16, 2018
A corruption ring within Colombia’s electoral authority could have altered as many as 20% of the votes that were cast in recent legislative elections, according to a think tank.
Fundacion Paz y Reconciliacion (Pares) said Monday that evidence seemed to confirm sources who had told investigators that a major corruption network had been selling bulks of votes to candidates.
Registrar Juan Carlos Galindo, who was already under fire over irregularities in the March 11 vote, said the NGO showed a “lack of respect” to his authority and said the fraud alert was “wrong.”
