Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after the suspension of municipal elections in the Dominican Republic due to a failure in the automated voting systems:
“The recent protests in the Dominican Republic and by the diaspora in Florida demonstrate the commitment of the Dominican people of preserving and defending their democracy. Following the events in the recent municipal elections on February 16, 2019, it’s essential that the right to free and fair elections on the island be guaranteed. Therefore, it is important that democratic nations in the region support the Organization of American States’ (OAS) decision to lead an audit of the automated voting systems. At a crucial moment in the Dominican Republic’s future, I urge leaders in the country to preserve the democratic constitution.”

Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado tras la suspensión de las elecciones municipales en la República Dominicana por un fallo en los equipos del voto automatizado:
“Las recientes protestas en la República Dominicana y en la Florida lideradas por la diáspora evidencian el compromiso del pueblo dominicano de preservar y defender su democracia. Tras los recientes acontecimientos en los comicios municipales del pasado 16 de febrero del 2019, es primordial que se garantice el derecho a unas elecciones libres y justas en la isla. Por ende, es importante que los países democráticos de la región respaldemos la decisión de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) de liderar una auditoría de los equipos del voto automatizado. En momentos cruciales para el futuro de la República Dominicana, insto a los líderes del país a preservar la constitución democrática del país”.
