"Police Clash with Officials in Election Document Raid"

Police officers in Guatemala shoved and wrestled with justices of the top electoral tribunal during raids to seize tally sheets of votes from the August presidential elections. The raids, criticized by international organizations, are seen as an attempt to taint the election results and weaken the winning candidate, Bernardo Arévalo. The attorney general leading the raids, Consuelo Porras, has been previously sanctioned for undemocratic behavior and undermining corruption investigations. Independent observers have found no evidence of fraud in the election.
