there were complaints in relation to the automated machines placed in populous areas and that not all the candidates were appearing on the ballots. As the Party for the Dominican Liberation has been in power locally and nationally for over 18 years, this concerned other parties who accused the JCE and the PLD of attempting to commit fraud.
“The country’s authorities have led us to a deep institutional crisis. It’s indignant and unjustifiable for democracy to have failed so greatly,” Luis Abinader, presidential candidate of Modern Revolutionary Party ,. “Evidently, the JCE has failed and this crisis has people who are responsible for it. We demand that those who have created this great damage to Dominican democracy be identified.”
He added that when the leaders of the PRM were informed about the issues and consulted about the possibility of canceling the elections, the party said that the proposal was not acceptable. “It’s not acceptable and discriminatory to only count the votes of the minority. The grave problems happened with the ballots for the PRM and the opposing parties.”Batolomé Pujals, who is running for mayor of Distrito Nacional said that he started receiving calls at around 8 a.m.
“Really, the conversation regarding the JCE has been ongoing for months, because the JCE hasn’t acted independently, or transparently, or objectively. And since before October, there have been demands that the JCE respect its own protocols,” Pujals told, “The problem with the automated vote is that the JCE imposed it, above the opinions of the citizens or the opposing political parties.

LatinoUSA The DR is modeled after the US. They invaded in 1916, shaped our institutions, propped up 2 murderous dictators. Our institutional culture is what the US WILL BECOME unless branches of government have equal power AND corruption is rooted out. Take notes, learn from us!!!
