Voting starts in divisive Costa Rica presidential election

Description

Polling stations across Costa Rica opened early Sunday for a presidential election that has split the country between Fabricio Alvarado, an ultra-conservative evangelical preacher who slams gay rights, and Carlos Alvarado (no relation), a former minister from the center-left ruling party. The result will decide who rules the small Central American nation of five million people for the next four years. IMAGES
