They had some pretty strong charges of vote rigging in South Africa,
directed against each other by the ANC and Inkatha. They also had
an independent election commission. I suppose the IEC could have said
"there are numerous complaints, so we're invalidating the election".
Instead, they actually looked at the charges and then ruled that the
election was substantially free and fair, and could stand. I suppose
the substantially losing side might still sue, but more likely they'll
focus their energies on doing better in the next election.
Now, about the DCU... ah, never mind.

More graffiti: Manuel Noriega is alive and well, and running the DCU. I read this weekend that Panama was having a democratic election. It seems we forget that the last one was invalidated by ol' Manny when it was becoming apparent that his hand-picked cronies were going to lose. Mike | |||||
