Computerized Election Results With No Election

Posted by kdawson on from the why-bother-with-mere-tampering dept.

_Sharp'r_ writes "In Honduras, according to breaking Catalan newspaper reports (translations available, USA Today mention), authorities have seized 45 computers containing certified election results for a constitutional election that never happened. The election had been scheduled for June 28, but on that day the president, Manuel Zelaya, was ousted. The 'certified' and detailed electronic records of the non-existent election show Zelaya's side having won overwhelmingly."

    Maybe this whole thing is a fabrication to make the ousted president look even more corrupt than he really was?

    I suggest that you read the post "I am a Honduran citizen" elsewhere in the replies here (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1307779&cid=28752917). Since he actually lives in Honduras (at least so he says), he is qualified to give a much more accurate account of it than any of us outsiders.

    As it so happens, though, his account justifies my skepticism.
