SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - El Salvador's electoral authority on Wednesday said it would begin to hand count ballots for the country's presidential and legislative assembly elections after reporting there were system failures in transmitting the votes.
President Nayib Bukele's victory, with 83% of the majority of the vote counted, is not in doubt, but the spotlight is on the country's 60 congressional seats.
