Assistant Professor of Democracy and Global Affairs at Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame. PhD. in Political Science at the same university. Its main areas of interest are institutions and political regime changes in Latin America.

His speech set the stage for controversy and de-legitimization of the changes generated by absentee ballots.
