Photos -- Nicaragua votes
Jacqueline, 17, and her friend showing you that they voted for the U.S.-supported guy by holding up nine fingers. Each party has a number, and people vote for that number (Ortega's party is number 2). Jacqueline was a highly outspoken girl working at our hostel in Granada.
This girl voted for Jarquin, a Sandanista who left Ortega´s party in the early 1990s because he and others claimed FSLN had gone corrupt. Her grandmother, right, refused to vote. Note that the photo of Che on the wall is larger and higher up than the photo of Jesus.
