Abstract

LOPEZ, Ignacio A.. ALIADOS PERO FRAUDULENTOS: Las prácticas electorales en Santa Fe, Mendoza y Corrientes durante el bienio de Roberto M. Ortiz (1938-1940). Rev. hist. am. argent. [online]. 2016, vol.51, n.1, pp.103-130. ISSN 2314-1549.

In this article we propose to research the strategy that president Roberto M. Ortiz (1938-1942) led in three argentinean provinces (Santa Fe, Mendoza y Corrientes). We suppose that the Executive branch developed a democratization and liberal project during his term, in which federal interventions were a critical instrument.However, in some districts these democratization politics acquired other dimensions. In those three provinces, whose governments were part of the Concordancia coalition and were also seriously accused of electoral fraud, the electoral normalization was directly linked to -and depened on- the success and failure of the presidential project.

Keywords : Roberto M. Ortiz; Electoral fraud; Santa Fe; Mendoza; Corrientes.
