13. His witnesses have actas, post-vote audit tabulations.

Where they sit down and manually count the vote. It's simply not adding up. Because the voting system is triple congruence (central digital database, paper audit of 54% of the ballots, and paper printout of the vote), it is nearly impossible to commit fraud.

But the CNE transmits the final result.

Capriles is calling for the rest of the triple congruence system to be checked, because he has actas which, at least going by his wording, support that he won (in particular if you include the foreign vote).

edit: I think he's sort of forced to call Maduro illegitimate because he needs the audit and if he just says he wants it then there's the possibility he won't get it, so he has to make them do the audit by basically calling them out.
