talking about how they're going to fight to defend the will of the "people" blah blah blah and how Maduro took the whole internet down for hours and hours lol and they were prevented from voting blah blah that all the polls really had Capriles ahead but no one's taking them seriously. A few are posting these things and sending them straight to news agencies, then they yell at the new agencies for not carrying their "reports" lol.

In addition to hacking Maduro's twitter account and a few government sites, they're circulating fake "urgent messages from the military to Capriles" like this one by a General who can't identify himself lol:



Comunicado Urgente de Militares con Capriles:

Abril 14, 2013

Estamos preparados para intervenir, defenderemos al pueblo venezolano, estamos cansados de este gobierno y de todos los infiltrados cubanos en nuestras instituciones militares. Además de todos los generales y coroneles corruptos que se han aprovechado de nuestra milicia para enriquecerse, nos han amenazado, luego de que un grupo de las milicias de todo el país han pedido la baja, con amenazas de que nos quitaran la pensión y los que tengamos hipoteca por compra de vivienda, nos quitaran dicha vivienda.

Estamos cansados de todas estas amenazas y que nuestro pueblo del cual nosotros también somos parte, siga pasando tantas barbaridades. ¡basta ya! Los del gobierno ya están claros de que han perdido estas elecciones y se preparan para no respetar la constitución y tomar el poder pasándole por encima a lo que el pueblo decida.

Hermanos, pueblo de Venezuela: ustedes encarguense de votar, nosotros nos encargaremos del resto…

General de la FANB (No me puedo identificar). Pero por favor
¡Difundelo ya, que sea conocido por toda Venezuela!

Asi es a VOTAR sin MIEDO Hagan Uds. Su trabajo que nosotros estamos con el pueblo.

RUEDALO!!!!



Meanwhile in the real world, the electoral system that's "the best in the world” is tabulating the votes.
