I had been assured that socialism is a highly moral system that only looks out for the people.


Overwhelming evidence of election fraud in Bolivia, monitors say

An independent international audit of Bolivia's disputed election in October has detailed "deliberate" and "malicious" efforts to rig the vote in favour of then-President Evo Morales.

The Organization of American States (OAS) said the measures included hidden servers and falsified signatures.

Mr Morales fled to Mexico after the army urged him to quit. He has not commented on the report.

The interim president has pledged new elections but no date has yet been set.

Jeanine Áñez, a former right-wing senator, called the OAS findings "frightening". She has previously said Mr Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president who was seeking a fourth term, should face prosecution if he returns to the country.

According to the OAS, the "intentional manipulation" and "serious irregularities" included "changes in the minutes and the falsification of the signatures of poll officials", making it impossible to validate the official results of the 20 October vote.

In the processing of the results, it said in the 95-page final report (in Spanish), the data was redirected to two hidden servers and not controlled by officials at the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, opening the way for the manipulation of data.

Exactly, so if it doesn't it's not real socialism and people just need to elect more socialists.

Wasn't this the guy that the military pulled a coup to force him out, and the leader of his opposition was saying that the indigenous people were not real Bolivians?
