Court Rules in Favor of Venezuela Vote Signatures
Advertisements [?]
CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuela's Supreme Court on Monday ordered electoral authorities to lift their objections against more than 800,000 disputed opposition signatures seeking a referendum against President Hugo Chavez.

The ruling by the court's Electoral Chamber, which heralded a bitter legal battle over the referendum process, boosted opposition hopes to secure a recall vote this year on the rule of the leftist leader.

Electoral officials decided March 2 that the opposition had initially failed to secure enough valid signatures to trigger the referendum. Foes of Chavez, who need to reconfirm 600,000 signatures to meet the referendum target, had appealed to the Supreme Court against the National Electoral Council decision to order a recheck of the questioned signatures.
