Honduras authorities to review election fraud claim

Honduras' top electoral authority on Monday agreed to review electoral rolls and results from the country's November 24 presidential vote after a leading candidate charged fraud. Leftist Xiomara Castro, wife of the ousted former president Manuel Zelaya, claims officials manipulated the outcome to hand the presidency to conservative Juan Orlando Hernandez. "Let us find the tools for it, and let's do this in the most public way possible so that absolutely no doubt remains," David Matamoros, head of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) told Castro and Zelaya, lead of her Libre party, after they headed to TSE headquarters to press for a new vote count or procedural review. The electoral roll and results documents, which include the voters' registry and the results for each party, were scanned and sent to the TSE's tallying center in the capital.
