Finally...almost

The "preliminary" results were announced last night. Heather, my roommate and I, thought when we had heard the FSLN "officially" won last night with 51% of the votes - we thought that it was final. Finally final and maybe the riots would simmer down.
But just a half hour ago the group and I were told that the other party, the PLC, is still saying that they need to be present along side of the Supreme Electoral Council and an international presence... in order to ensure the validity of the results.

But people have basically known that the FSLN won since the first "fraudulent" results were proclaimed. Now the PLC just has to work with its constituents (who claim the stance "todos contra Ortega") to push cooperation and effective dialogue with the FSLN... But who knows if the FSLN will allow for this.
