In reply to the discussion: Venezuela's Maduro blasts 'devil' Obama [View all]reorg

Suffice it to say that the Carter Center also said:
This change in norms effectively shifted monitoring responsibilities to national actors. Domestic observer organizations, first appearing in 2000, grew more experienced and professional; political parties negotiated ever-increasing participation in pre- and postelection audits of the automated voting system as well as providing party poll watchers on election day; NGOs played a particularly strong role in monitoring campaign conditions during the 2012 election; and citizens verified their voter registration and participated in election-night verification of the paper receipts to compare with the electronic vote tallies in individual precincts beginning in 2006.
National political parties helped validate the systems reliability through consultations with the CNE rectors and staff during a scheduled program of 16 pre-electoral audits of the components of the entire automated voting system. They also verified the voter registry.

Still, although some of the former responsibilities of international monitors were shifted to domestic actors, the current form of international "accompaniment" means that the CNE invites international observers, including representatives from the Carter Center to monitor the activities during election day:
accompaniment involves a political presence of highprofile actors who witness election-day activities (ibid.)
Debemos felicitar al pueblo venezolano por el comportamiento cívico y por protagonizar una elección muy ordenada y tranquila, afirmó Penco, vicepresidente de la Corte Electoral de Uruguay, desde Caracas en declaraciones a Radio El Espectador de Montevideo.
Los venezolanos votaron con responsabilidad, agregó Penco y destacó que pudo haber incidentes menores, como en todos los procesos electorales pero en general fue una jornada pacífica, aseguró.

La misión de Unasur estuvo integrada por unos 40 miembros, representantes de organismos electorales de Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, Colombia, Guayana, Surinam y Brasil. Además se sumaron representantes diplomáticos de esos países acreditados en Venezuela. La misión estuvo presidida por un representante designado por unanimidad por los cancilleres de los países de Unasur, en este caso Carlos Chacho Álvarez, y con un coordinador general, también designado por unanimidad, que en este caso recayó en mi persona.
El representante de Unasur y el coordinador somos los responsables de la misión, y el comunicado está firmado por nosotros dos.
¿Otras misiones de observadores estuvieron presentes en las elecciones?
El Centro Carter, más que una misión, envió una delegación de invitados especiales que formaron parte del programa de acompañamiento del CNE, a diferencia de nosotros que firmamos un convenio especial de acompañamiento, como misión de Unasur. Ni el Centro Carter ni la OEA conformaron misiones sino que formaron parte del programa de acompañamiento invitados por el CNE.

You don't know everything that Obama knows...so it just may NOT be a 'legit' gripe.

Others in this thread have spoken to the "observer" issue, so I won't repeat that.

If Obamas policies were truly to far right we would have long ago invaded Venezuela.
