They can only steal the vote if YOU let them

[ck4829]

"The elections of May 1989 were surrounded by controversy. Most of the other political parties banded behind a unified ticket of Guillermo Endara Galimany, along with vice presidential candidates Ricardo Arias-Calderon and Guillermo "Billy" Ford. American Kurt Muse was apprehended by the Panamanian authorities after he had set up a sophisticated radio and computer installation which was designed to jam Panamanian radio and broadcast phony election returns. The Panamanian government decided to proceed with the election; Noriega's candidate lost by a large margin, too great for Noriega's intended rigging mechanism to sway the vote. Even Noriega's own troops, bussed around all day to vote repeatedly, often voted against him. Noriega canceled the election rather than display the results. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, there as an observer, denounced Noriega, saying the election had been "stolen". Bishop Marcos McGrath did as well."
