Two – in Argentina and Peru – went well; the other – in Nicaragua – was marred by egregious fraud and heavy-handed government intervention in favor of the incumbent. Still, two out of three is not bad in a region where, previously, if elections were held at all, disputes about the outcomes were the norm.
2011年，拉丁美洲举行了三场选举。其中两场——在阿根廷和秘鲁——一切顺利，另一场尼加拉瓜的选举遭到了严重舞弊和实施高压政策的政府干预支持现任领导人的破坏。先前该地区要是举行选举，对选举结果争论不休司空见惯，在三场选举中有两场成功的结果并不糟糕。
