Struggle to certify results of Guatemala’s June 25 presidential vote suffers another setback

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:45:25 GMT

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — The struggle to certify the results of Guatemala’s first-round presidential election has suffered another reverse after the chief justice of the Supreme Court issued an order blocking the certification. Chief Justice Silvia Valdés Quezada issued the unusual order late Friday. She stipulated the process could not go forward until the electoral authorities that conducted a review of vote tally sheets from the June 25 election reported back to her on their methods and any inconsistencies found. Valdés Quezada said they had to do that within 12 hours.The reviews witnessed by the AP found improperly marked or counted votes amounted to less than 1% of the total, not enough to change the results.Experts said Saturday that Valdés Quezada’s order was strange because she was the only justice to sign it. According to normal procedure, it should have been signed by all 13 justices.“She alone is suspending the electoral process,” said constitutional lawyer Aleja...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:45:25 GMT

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth can go into effect — at least for now — after a federal appeals court on Saturday temporarily reversed a lower court ruling.Late last month a district court judge in Tennessee found that the state’s new law banning transgender therapies like hormone blockers and surgeries for transgender youth was unconstitutional because it discriminated on the basis of sex. The judge blocked large swaths of the law from taking effect.On Saturday, however, the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati granted an emergency appeal from Tennessee. In a 2-1 ruling, the majority wrote that decisions on emerging policy issues like transgender care are generally better left to legislatures rather than judges.“Given the high stakes of these nascent policy deliberations — the long-term health of children facing gender dysphoria — sound government usually benefits from more rather than less debate,” wr...
