In reply to the discussion: Capriles refuses to recognize the election results [View all]joshcryer
(62,536 posts)41. The main problem is he stays until the vote is complete.
From what I understand this is only allowed if the person is disabled or illiterate and needs help. Otherwise they must leave.
(You can see the vote is complete because as she comes around the machine she puts her ballot in the box.)
It's possible the woman needed her machine reset and the man reset it, and the woman simply voted right then and there and the man didn't have time to walk away.
But I personally feel his looking over his shoulder as he walked behind the machine sent off a body language that wasn't exactly trustworthy.
You are right, in the end, that there isn't enough context here to be sure anyway. Stronger evidence would be seeing him do this over and over throughout the day, etc.
