The dreaded too close to call won't stop me

From Honduras Culture and Politics which is from...

With about 25 percent of the vote in, Juan Hernandez leads with 35 percent to Xiomara Castro's 28 percent. As Honduras Culture and Politics reminds us, however, these are not even actual votes - they "Just added numbers up from tally sheets sent via digital links."

There's still a long way to go in counting and the race is still the dreaded too close to call. That has not stopped either of the leading candidates from declaring victory, of course, but, from what I understand, that doesn't count. Well, at least most of the time.

There seems to be some agreement that the race will tighten when the remaining 75 percent of the vote is counted or whatever it is that the TSE is counting. The final margin of victory might be less than 2 percent. If so, we might begin to hear a lot more about the pre-election day conditions (violence against party activists and use of state resources) that tipped the scales in favor of the incumbent (if that is actually who wins).

Anybody hear (anecdotal of course) whether the congressional vote is likely to mirror the presidential vote?

Hopefully, Hondurans know the winner of today's election prior to elections being held in El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama. Central America might look very different in six months.
