About 740,000 Salvadorans could vote from abroad to elect the President of the Republic and congressmen. The unprecedented aspect of these elections is that Salvadorans abroad could vote not only by mail but also electronically and in person.

At the polling center in Aurora, Colorado, about 1,100 people voted in person, and another 400 voted electronically. “I am happy to vote in person for the first time,” said Armando López, a resident of Aurora.

The atmosphere at the Double Tree hotel was festive. People were very happy waiting in line to cast their votes. The process looked orderly, and no incidents were reported. Most voters did not hide their support for Nayib Bukele’s re-election.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
