This news from Colombia — the Miami Herald is reporting new evidence has emerged backing allegations that vote fraud favored President Alvaro Uribe in 2002 elections. Electoral judges from the town of El Dificil told the Herald right-wing paramilitary fighters forced them to fill in uncast votes for Uribe and discard votes for his main rival. The judges’ comments support recent accusations made by Rafael Garcia, a former senior official at Colombia’s executive intelligence agency, the DAS. Last month, Garcia said the paramilitaries helped Uribe win an extra 300,000 fraudulent votes.
