Guatemalan general election - 13 September 2015/25 October Run-Off/Morales wins

[politicus]

President arrested 2 days before election.

On what charges?

[politicus]

Happening today. Media is reporting this as a contest between Baldzon and Jimmy Morales.

Its about 4.25 PM in Guatamala now. When do they close?

[politicus]

With 85.66% of percents counted it is still close, but it looks like Torres will miss the run-off:


Torres   772,609   18.23%
Baldizon   799,545   18.87%

[politicus]

90.7% of precincts in:

Torres   835,200   18.60%
Baldizon   861,281   19.19%

I doubt Torres will make it (unless there are some very lopsided areas left)

This is gonna go down to the wire. With 95.28% of precincts counted it is:

Torres   903,929   19.18%
Baldizon   914,956   19.41%

[politicus]

At 96.24% of precincts counted Torres is catching up. Less than 3,000 between them now:

Torres   921,976   19.37%
Baldizon   924,626   19.43%

Do y'all really think turnout can really actually be 98 %, or is it just a fluke of badly counting the total of registered voters to begin with ?

Huh?
