2014 Election Blog: COA's Eric Farnsworth Analyzes Costa Rica and El Salvador Election Results
By
COA's Vice President Eric Farnsworth analyzes the issues on voters' minds in the two Central American elections.
COA's Eric Farnsworth speaks with CCTV America about the close presidential races in Costa Rica and El Salvador, and what voters in both countries are looking for in the candidates as they head to the polls.
In El Salvador, voters are choosing based on "who can reduce violence, and who can create jobs, and who can improve the economy," Farnsworth explains. In Costa Rica, Farnsworth notes that rising income inequality has voters asking: "What do we do now, where do we go from here, and how do we create those jobs for the next generation?"
