The opposition threatened people not to vote. Then they claim that a low turnout signals support for their boycott. But here’s the thing:

Take the 2005 election’s turnout. Subtract 2009’s turnout. Call the difference the boycott. (Even this would be silly, again, since Zelaya’s supporters tried to intimidate people from voting.)

Now, give every “boycott vote” to the candidate closest to Zelaya, Cesar Ham. Guess what? Ham still finishes in third place.

Voter turnout in 2009 was HIGHER than 2005. 61% versus barely 50% in 2005.
