A Colorado woman has been found guilty of voter fraud for casting ballots for both her late ex-husband and son, prosecutors said. Elizabeth Ann Davis, 61, was convicted Wednesday of two counts of forgery and one count of impersonating an elector for submitting mail ballots for them in the 2022 general election. Voter fraud is generally rare and detectable since the nation’s election processes provide many safeguards, according to current and former election officials. Voters are required to put their signature on ballots before returning them. Davis, a Republican, has previously been convicted of forgery and other offenses in Florida and Colorado,...

Dancing dominates campaign rallies in Ivory Coast but the pulsing energy and fervour belies concerns about the political landscape in the world’s largest cocoa producer. Saturday’s presidential vote in the West African nation is as notable for the candidates who have been banned from running as for those who are vying for the top job.

 Brazil’s Supreme Court on Wednesday published the ruling convicting former President Jair Bolsonaro of attempting a coup, starting the clock for filing any appeals. Judges in September convicted Bolsonaro of trying to overthrow democracy and sentenced him to 27 years and three months in prison. He has been under house arrest since August. Bolsonaro’s lawyers have said they will try to appeal the conviction and sentence before the full Supreme Court of 11 justices. Some experts say it’s unlikely to be accepted. The far-right politician Bolsonaro has always denied wrongdoing. He was convicted of attempting a coup after losing the 2022 race to President Luiz Inácio Lula da...
