El Tribunaal Supremo This contest is delayed by the decision of the General Court of San Juan Tribunal that it should be considered whether the votes for direct nomination for the Guanica Alcaldia by direct nomination, Edgardo Cruz Vélez, will not be written correctly. no haya marked the encasillado destined for direct nomination.

The determination of the most important judicial forum of the island is that State Election Commission (CEE) will have to verify all the acts of the Guánica electoral contingent to determine that their additional votes have Cruz Vélez for direct nomination even if no elector has cast an X in the direct nomination envelope.

The CEE informs that these youths at 9:00 am the parties must convene their respective officials in order to achieve a review of the Guánica electoral contingent.

In addition to the Guanica alkali, CEE has certified the candidate Popular Democratic Party, Ismael “Titi” Rodríguez, as the winner for only 52 votes. In particular, Rodríguez’s lawyer will have to transfer the transaction process with the incumbent alkali, Santos Seda. Rodríguez pleaded guilty to the charge that he had not produced the Supreme Court’s determination.

El fallo del Supremo fue de siete jueces associates’ n guns y uno en contra, el juez Rafael Martínez Torres.

“In these cases, our consideration is clearly surgeon of the paper that elector who votes for direct nomination. In no way can we say that we meet the criterion of the elector, when we have to adjudicate the vote in favor of the person whose electorate is written in the paper “, based on the resolution of the Supreme Court, written by the associate judge Erick Kolthoff.

Associated Juices Maite Oronoz, Luis Estrella and Mildred Pabón Charneco issue a conformity opinion. While the former associate Angel Colón Pérez is issuing a competing opinion.

The legal action brought by the Supreme Court was presented by Rodríguez, who petitioned to take effect on the decision of the jew Anthony Cuevas, who decided that the CEE should adjudicate to Edgardo Cruz Vélez, nominated for the Guanica Alcaldia by direct nomination, in his favor, he chose that no marker with an X in the paper the rectangle of the encapsulated corresponding to a direct nomination.

Rodríguez, of this form, was questioned in the appeal which was initially presented to the Tribunal of the First Instance and of the exceptional form which the Supreme Court acquitted without appeals.

Rodríguez argues in his legal appeal that a direct nomination vote was valid only if he had the full number and mark valid in the corresponding envelope. It is considered that the elector who interacts with an electronic scrubbing machine was advertised as not marking the direct nomination enclosure, on which the paper was rejected.

“What the petitioner suggests is that this Curia is adventurous in interpreting, not in the electorate’s paper that it is what limits the doctrine of the elector’s intention, is his intention to interact with the machine of scrutiny. As we say, pueds can be multiplied by the reasons by which a powder elector ignores the advertisement that presumably has the electronic escrow machine of an alleged deficiency in his vote. However, what is really transcendent is what is finally expressed in the paper ”, indicates the determination of the Supreme.

For its part, in written statements, Rodríguez indicates that “the Supreme Court decision of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico is issued on the basis of the cases related to the electoral event, which have been validated by the First Instance Tribunal. Sostenemos, based on the acts we possess, that adjudicate various votes with markets with X to the direct nomination candidate not alter the final results of the election. Queda en manos de la Comisión Estatal de Elecciones (CEE) examiner las actas, cumplir con la determinación del Supremo y ponerle fin a este theme ”.
