Balaguer Re elected In Dominican Voting
President Joaquin Balaguer won a second four year term in the Dominican Republic with a tally of 655,705 votes, more than the four challengers combined. Vice President Francisco Agosto Lora led among rivals with 240,557, while Gen. Elias Wessin y Wessin had 153,591. The election proceeded amid violence that left at least 68 dead and hundreds injured, though the balloting was labeled a model election by the National Electoral Commission. Juan Bosch, whose party boycotted, called the vote fraudulent.
