Contrary to the claims of U.S. media that the November 7 Nicaragua election was illegitimate, independent observers report that it was free, fair, and democratic. We invited Rich Sterling who was in Nicaragua as an official observer to discuss the actual situation. Rick’s report can be found at:
What I Saw on Election Day in Nicaragua. By Rick Sterling.

Rick was a full-time activist in his early years, had a 25-year detour working as an engineer in the electronics and aerospace industries, primarily at UC Berkeley, and has now returned to work full time where his heart is: progressive international causes.
