Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

- The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
- The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
- The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.

To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

    SUBJECT: SIT REP 2 - NICARAGUAN ELECTIONS

    REF: MANAGUA 02459

    Classified By: Ambassador Paul A. Trivelli. Reasons 1.4 (B,D).

    ¶1.  (U) Summary: With the results of 60 percent of the voting
    tables (JRVs) in, Sandinista Liberation Front (FSLN)
    presidential candidate Daniel Ortega enjoys an eight-point
    lead over his closest competitor, Eduardo Montealegre of the
    Liberal Nicaraguan Alliance (ALN), and will likely win the
    election.  Liberal Constitutional Party (PLC) Jose Rizo
    continues in third place, Sandinista Renovation Movement
    (MRS) Edmundo Jarquin trails in forth place, and Alternative
    for Change (AC) candidate Eden Pastora receives than 1
    percent of the vote.  The CSE expects to release its next
    results later today.  International and national observer
    groups released several statements expressing concern over
    CSE politicization, with no groups indicating the presence of
    electoral fraud.  End summary.

    ¶2.  (SBU) On the evening of November 6, the CSE released its
    fourth report on preliminary election results covering 61.8
    percent of the JRVs.  Results for the president/vice
    president follow:

    FSLN - 38.54% (down from the previous report's 40.01%)
    ALN -  30.94% (down from 32.72%)
    PLC -  22.93% (up from 20.33%)
    AC -    0.29% (down from 0.29%)
    MRS -   7.25% (down from 7.50%)

    (Comment: The slight decline in numbers for the FSLN and the
    ALN and a modest bump up in the PLC's numbers are likely due
    to the inclusion of rural JRVs.  End Comment.)

    ¶3.  (SBU) Preliminary results for National Assembly deputies
    selected at the national level:

    FSLN: 38.07
    ALN:  28.39
    PLC:  23.18
    MRS:   9.78
    AC:    0.59

    CSE Results in Line with ALN Tallies Thus Far
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    ¶4. (C) Zenalia Madrigal, the ALN's party poll watcher
    coordinator, conceded to polcouns on the evening of November
    6 that the CSE's latest preliminary results coincide closely
    with the ALN's scrutiny of 60% of the JRV results thus far.
    Madrigal said that reducing Ortega's eight-point lead over
    Montealegre to less than 5% is virtually impossible.  She
    added that according to the ALN's party poll watcher (fiscal)
    at the central vote tally center -- who had seen rough
    estimates of the results with 75% of the JRVs counted -- the
    eight-percent gap between Ortega and Montealegre remains at
    8%, while the gap between Montealegre and Rizo has widened to
    about 12% and the MRS had climbed to 8%.

    ¶5.  (C) In Montealegre's meeting with the Ambassador and DCM
    the evening of November 6, he conceded that the results stack
    in Ortega's favor.  Opining that the PLC's smear campaign
    against him had cost him victory, Montealegre noted that the
    PLC's distribution of a fake letter attributing his
    resignation had misled a number of supporters in rural areas.
     On the positive side, Montealegre said that as runner up,
    the ALN has consolidated its position in the country as the
    second political force and will exercise considerable
    influence in the National Assembly.  He shared his plans to
    talk to the FSLN to convince its leaders to recognize the ALN
    as the second party in the country, adding that through its
    sizeable presence in the Assembly, the ALN will be able to
    influence the judiciary, including the appointment of Supreme
    Court magistrates, the AG, and public prosecutors.

    ¶6. (C) In a follow-up call on November 7, Montealegre
    indicated that indeed the ALN's count of tally sheets
    indicated that he had little chance of closing hte gap, and
    he planned to concede to Ortega soon after the next CSE's
    announcement.  He also said that he had had conversations wit
    the FSLN in which they expressed interest in him taking on
    the presidency of the National Assembly for the first year,
    thereby providing a degree of assurance and satbility to the
    country.

    ¶7. (SBU) The National Democratic Institute (NDI) -- Etica y
    Transparencia's (ET) quick count partner -- explained to the
    Ambassador on November 6 that it had advised ET not/not to
    release the results of its quick count prematurely because
    the data was incomplete; however, ET did not heed the advice.
     (Comment: According to electoral law, quick count results
    must first be delivered to the CSE in a sealed envelope and
    the CSE determines when to release them.  Given that the
    early results of the quick count were very favorable to
    Ortega -- likely the FSLN-dominated CSE leadership pressed ET
    to release the results early on.   End Comment)

    PLC Continues to Claim it will Place Second
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  -

    ¶8.  (SBU) Asserting that the CSE has yet to tally the bulk of
    the rural vote, which will favor the PLC, PLC candidate Jose
    Rizo told the press on November 7 that the PLC will place
    second and close enough to call a runoff between him and
    Ortega.  (Comment: The ET quick count sampled rural as well
    as semi-rural and urban areas; its quick count factor places
    Rizo third, although the margin between Rizo and Montealegre
    is smaller than that reflected in the CSE's preliminary
    results thus far (ALN at 29.52% and PLC 24.15%).  Although we
    have seen no indication that suggests the PLC will place
    second, some of our contacts have told us that the FSLN may
    "pact" with the PLC to alter the assignment of some of the
    National Assembly seats to favor the PLC to the detriment of
    the ALN.)

    International Observer Statements
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    ¶9. (U) The OAS mission, in its Monday 10 a.m. statement on
    the elections, observed that the election was "peaceful and
    orderly, had a massive turnout and took place in accordance
    with the law."  The OAS noted also that average citizen
    participation at the JRVs was around 70%.  Representation of
    fiscales present was also estimated to be:

    PLC - 100%
    FSLN - 98%
    ALN - 100%
    MRS - 60%
    AC - 18%

    ¶10. (U) According to OAS observers, no vote result challenges
    (impugnaciones) were presented at polling centers (JRVs)
    where the OAS was present.  However, the OAS also noted that
    at approximately 2% of the JRV's voters were in line but were
    unable to vote because the polling centers closed down.
    (Note: According to Nicaraguan electoral law, polling centers
    must remain open until the last person in line by 6 PM is
    allowed to vote.)

    ¶11. (SBU) Comment: It is very difficult to extrapolate the
    total number of voters who were disenfranchised based upon
    the above referenced 2% JRV figure.  Although ET verbally
    reported to the Embassy that they also saw a 2% "JRV
    disenfranchisement" rate, there are no reports on the actual
    number of voters in line when the polls closed.  Further, the
    total 3.6 million voters on the padron electoral (voter
    rolls) can't be assumed to represent the total number of real
    voters.  For example, a significant number of voters on the
    rolls are deceased or have migrated.  We understand that
    approximately 2.8 million voted in this election.  Because of
    this incongruence, the 2% "JRV disenfranchisement" rate can't
    be directly applied to the total number of registered voters
    to determine the actual number of disenfranchised voters. End
    comment.

    ¶12. (U) The EU electoral mission observed in its Monday 5:40
    p.m. press conference that the memory of war is still
    powerful in Nicaragua.  Nevertheless, EU mission head Claudio
    Fava stated that the elections were generally peaceful and
    thousands of observers covered the event.  The EU also noted
    a number of technical problems including the irregular
    distribution of national/voter IDS (cedulas) and temporary
    voting documents (documentos supletorios), but stated that
    this did not constitute fraud.  However, the EU was more
    forward-leaning in its characterization of the CSE as being
    politicized, noting that electoral law does not facilitate
    the participation of more than two parties in the electoral
    process.  Fava also observed that the press should seek to be
    more reactive to the electoral process in general.  In
    closing, Fava noted that although the EU is awaiting the rest
    of the electoral results to be reported, it appeared that
    Ortega had been elected president.

    ¶13. (U) President Carter met again with candidate Ortega on
    Monday evening, shaking hands for the press.  At the
    conclusion of the private meeting, Ortega and his campaign
    leader/ wife Rosario Murillo stated to the press that the
    FSLN would await the final results of the CSE before
    recognizing his victory.  Nevertheless, many young FSLN
    supporters were out in force caravanning through Managua and
    other cities and towns before and after the meeting
    celebrating the presumed FSLN victory.  With 60% of the JRV
    data counted, many Tuesday newspapers also covered FSLN's
    Monday evening celebrations.

    ¶14. (U) Movimiento por Nicaragua (MpN) noted today that it
    plans to release a public statement sometime today or later
    tomorrow.  In the statement, MpN will indicate that the will
    of the Nicaraguan people favored Ortega. MpN executive
    director Pilar Martinez told us that the role of civil
    society is "now more important than ever," adding that the
    MpN will press Ortega to sign its good governance accord (the
    MRS and ALN signed the MpN's accord before the elections.)

    ¶15. (U) The Institute for Development and Democracy (IPADE)
    issued a report early Tuesday, raising concern that 73,734
    cedulas were not retrieved by voters in advance of the
    election.  The study noted that, in 44 municipal offices of
    the CSE, only 63,380 cedulas were picked up.  In the
    municipality of Telica, Department of Leon, IPADE reported
    that only 90 documentos supletorios out of 690 had been
    retrieved for use.  IPADE expressed concern generally that
    the CSE should develop a plan to distribute
    cedulas/documentos supletorios in all parts of the country,
    although it did not specifically reference partisan efforts
    in the distribution of such documents.

    Elections Donor Group (EDG) Meeting
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    ¶16. (SBU) The German Embassy convened the Elections Donor
    Group (EDG) at 10:00 a.m. on November 7.  Representatives of
    the EU and OAS EOMs were present to report as was Etica y
    Transparencia (ET).  The two main topics of discussion were
    the outcome of the national and departmental deputy races and
    follow up on electoral reform.

    ¶17. (SBU) ET Director Roberto Courtney reported that ET will
    have preliminary quick count results for the deputy races
    some time on Thursday afternoon.  He said that many seats
    will be decided by very small margins (as few as 1-2 JRVs can
    make the difference), and even one seat in the National
    Assembly can cause a huge power shift from one caucus  to the
    next, especially given the emerging multiparty situation  and
    the thresholds for passing majority (47) and supermajority
    (56) votes.  Courtney asked the international observer teams
    to please continue to monitor the process of impugnaciones
    because the CSE only works under extreme pressure.

    ¶18. (SBU) Courtney stated that the late-closing JRVs are
    reporting higher incidences of impugnaciones, which should
    reach 70-100 at the national level (out of  11,700 total
    JRVs).  Although the overall percentage is low and within
    international norms, Courtney predicted that the parties will
    focus on strategic impugnaciones, as they have in the past,
    to attempt to change the outcome of key deputy races.  ET
    will have a list of all reported impugnaciones by late this
    afternoon.

    ¶19. (SBU) OAS EOM Technical Director Patricio Gajardo stated
    that the core team of OAS observers will stay to monitor the
    process of impugnaciones.  The initial verbal OAS report will
    be ready in late November or early December for presentation
    to the OAS Permanent Council, with the final report released
    in late January.  The OAS will present the report, with
    recommendations, to the CSE first, then the international
    community (i.e. donor embassies). (Comment: Gajardo, when
    asked about the OAS stance on the Ley Marco given the
    election results, replied that this matter is being handled
    by Dante Caputo and Gustavo Fernandez and needs to be
    addressed at that level through USOAS. End Comment)

    ¶20. (SBU) EU EOM elections expert Francisco Cobos echoed
    Courtney's concerns regarding the impugnaciones and noted
    that a 4-hour power outage at the National Stadium in Managua
    had delayed the processing of results for thousands of JRVs.
    He commented that Ortega had actually received his lowest
    percentage of votes in the four elections he has participated
    in and also the lowest percentage of any Nicaraguan
    president.  Cobos expects the final EU report will be ready
    in about two months.  German DCM Guenter Sautter said that
    the German Embassy will organize a technical meeting to
    review the EU and OAS reports and discuss recommendations for
    electoral reform, with possible follow up with the CSE and
    political parties.

    COMMENT
    -------

    ¶21. (SBU) Although many civil-society organizations and
    election observation missions have reported that they intend
    to release further statements in the near future, the bottom
    line is not expected to change; FSLN leader Daniel Ortega is
    primed to be the next president of Nicaragua.
