Guatemalan farmers stand in line to vote in Zacapa, southest of the capita, November 9, 2003. The national elections have opened old war wounds and touched sensitive issues of class and corruption in the Central American nation of 11 million people, more than half of them Maya Indians often living in deep poverty. Despite rising political violence this election season spurred by the candidacy of ex-dictator Efrain Rios Montt, long queues on Sunday seemed to reflect growing confidence in the effectiveness of democracy even among indigenous Guatemalans.
