Update: The Chavist Bolivian President Has Resigned


           The Chavist President of Bolivia has resigned and fled the capital after mass protests against the questionable election results announced by his election tribunal declared him the winner of a fourth term, despite a constitutional two-term limit.  The Bolivian people had rejected a referendum in 2016 to end presidential term limits, but the court loyal to the President allowed him to serve another term.  The leaders of the tribunal are among those who have been arrested.  Inspired by Venezuelan Socialist dictator Hugo Chavez, who was elected and then became tyrannical, the left-wing anti-American Bolivian President had become increasingly authoritarian.

           May Bolivia enjoy peace, liberty and representative government based upon free and fair elections.
