...Aug. 10, Bolivians voted on recalling their political leaders in what was supposed to have been a democratic means to release the country's growing political tension. Instead it appears to have only heightened the polarization; Morales was given a 67% approval vote nationally, but four opposition prefects (or governors) garnered equally high or higher approvals in their respective states...
