TSE Finds 992 "Lost" Ballots
Luis Antonio Sobrado, a magistrate of the Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones (TSE) announced yesterday the finding of 992 voting ballots, ballots that were "lost" according to some politicial parties.

According to the information released by the TSE, only 23 of the votes were valid and were attributed to the totals of the presidential candidates as follows: two for the Partido Liberación Nacional (PLN), nine for the Unión para el Cambio (UPC), ten for the Partido Unidad Social Cristiana (PUSC), one for the Unión Patriótica (UP) and one for the Partido Acción Ciudadana (PAC).

The found ballots will not change the results as they stand at the close of the manual vote count last Wednesday, until the magistrates of the TSE decide what to do with the found votes, according to Sobrado.

The 992 voting ballots found are part of 3.908 voting ballots the TSE has registered as lost.

Sobrado also announced that the TSE is getting closer to making an "official" proclamation as 495 of the 681 complaints regarding the election process have been settled.

The TSE is expected to announce a president-elect as early as next week.
