Why did he rig his re-election?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>You might have seen people posting on social media the following phrase, \u201c<em>X pais necesita un Bukele.<\/em>\u201d \u201c<em>X country<\/em> needs a Bukele.\u201d You might even agree with it. I don\u2019t intend to change your mind with this humble little article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele&#8217;s popularity across Latin America led many of us to believe that he would run away with his reelection. And he did. What many of us didn\u2019t account for was how he would do so. Even a supporter of Bukele would admit that the election itself can only be described as a hot mess, like dropping salsa and curtido all over your crisp white <em>selecta<\/em> jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Election day was littered with irregularities and disorganization. This all occurred against a backdrop of what the leftist opposition described as election engineering over the past year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with Bukele declaring himself the winner on the evening of election day. No surprise here. No one thought he had a chance of losing, even after leftist candidate Manuel Flores had a last-minute surge in popularity after the internet turned him into a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChinoFloressv\/status\/1753580001583112202?s=20\">meme<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What was unusual was that Bukele claimed that he and his party won the election with over 85% of the vote in his victory speech. This was at the end of the night when only a portion of the votes had been reported. The final percentage was 84% after all the ballots were counted and reported weeks later. Eerily accurate of \u201cEl Presi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On election night many irregularities were reported by social media sleuths and journalists alike. It was difficult to understand how and why the election procedure was so chaotic, especially when the president and his party were predicted to win by a landslide.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help me wade through the murky waters of this election, I spoke to my friend Nicola Chavez, a PhD student who broke down the election process on her social media accounts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat seems like ineptitude and weaponized incompetence at so many different levels,\u201d Chavez says to me via my computer screen, \u201conly really makes sense if you zoom out and you see it all happening at the same time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take for example the recent reforms to reduce the number of municipalities (from over 260 to only 40) and the number of seats in the legislative assembly (from 84 to 60). These electoral reforms passed within the past year. It is usually illegal to do this right before an election year, in order to prevent tipping the scales one way or another.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd of course [the municipios] all rearranged at <em>al antojo<\/em> \u2014 to the liking \u2014 of the ruling political elite,\u201d Nicola says. \u201cThey say okay, if we put [the city] San Salvador next to Mejicanos, that\u2019s going to [Bukele\u2019s] Nuevas Ideas. But if we put it next to Cuscatancingo, that\u2019s not going to us.\u201d It is a form of gerrymandering. They are manipulating the boundary lines to ensure Bukele\u2019s Nuevas Ideas party maximizes its odds in places where they may be weaker. The elections for municipalities will be held in March.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bukele\u2019s party claimed 58 legislators before the official results were announced. In the final tally, they received 54 out of the 60 possible seats. The leftist FMLN party, despite coming in second place for president, received 0 legislators. Nicola explained to me that there were changes to the model by which popular representation is allocated. In other words, literally using a mathematical formula to decide the proportion of representatives based on the number of votes, which \u2014 surprise, surprise \u2014 actually leads to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Disruptiva2\/status\/1759347894392377694\"><em>less<\/em> proportional results.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare this to the prior system, established in 1991, which divides the number of legislators by the population according to the most recent census. This is the <em>cociente or <\/em>quotient. Then the number of inhabitants per <em>departamento <\/em>(or state) that fits within the <em>cociente<\/em> is the number representatives that <em>departamento<\/em> receives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your eyes glazed over, don\u2019t worry. I nearly fell asleep writing it myself. What you need to know is that this system gave smaller parties more opportunities to fill seats in the legislative assembly and made it very unlikely, though not impossible, for any one party to have a supermajority.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final change was to the election results reporting process. Before, a team of up to four people per voting center was empowered by the electoral authority to set up a laptop and scanner. At the end of the night, they would upload and submit the tallies of all the ballots cast across tables in their particular center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, each table in a voting center was responsible for setting up their own tech to upload and submit the tallies from their particular ballot box. This creates an opportunity to mess things up exponentially because there are multiple tables per voting center. On top of that, the tech was not loaded with official tally forms, so at the end of the night, people were submitting <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ElMundoSV\/status\/1754567312433185136?s=20\">photographs of random hand-tallied sheets<\/a>. \u201cAnd this feels like really intentional chaos,\u201d Nicola says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>By the end of election night, not even the preliminary results for the assembly could be submitted. Voting centers closed at 2 a.m. and all the ballots were sent across the country to go through a \u201cfinal scrutiny\u201d at a later date at the National Gymnasium of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/_elfaro_\/status\/1756870022268322238?s=20\">San Salvador<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many more irregularities that I don\u2019t have time to explore here, but have been reported on by other media outlets in El Salvador and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you might ask yourself, why would the most popular president in Latin America need to intentionally manipulate the process to ensure that his party has a supermajority? Why would he need to <em>steal<\/em> something he should, in theory, already have won? The answer is obvious to some. To others, these are just the cries of losers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing we must keep in mind is that this is the first election to take place under the state of exception since the Civil War. We must also keep in mind that technically, he ran unconstitutionally \u2014 and the highest electoral body let him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what, you might think? The people love him and they have given him absolute power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question I\u2019ve found myself asking is, now what?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is for certain: Popularity doesn\u2019t last forever (unless you\u2019re Beyonce). Imagine that years from now, Bukele and his party begin to lose favor. Maybe due to an economic crash. Or a massive volcanic eruption. Or maybe the honeymoon period simply ends. What democratic mechanisms will the people of El Salvador have to choose a different path?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For better or for worse, Bukele is the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele&#8217;s popularity across Latin America led many of us to believe that he would run away with his reelection.
