Evo Morales tried to run for a 4th term against the law (Bolivia has a 2 term limit, but Evo claimed the first one didn't count). He called a referendum to change the term limits and got shot down. He ran for the elections anyway and "won". The day after the electoral body of Bolivia confirmed that election was rigged. The military then asked him to step down.<p>I can't understand why Evo is viewed so favorably in the USA.
