Anyway, reading up on it more, i don't see why anything is needed past the normal procedures for elections in Venezuela.

We have the CNE count. The Acta's, which Capriles should have, should prove if the CNE count is right. The 54% recount should be enough to prove if the machines were haywire.

I have a feeling that Capriles doesn't have shit. If he had Actas that said the CNE count is wrong, and that he won, I would think he should make that clear.

I have a feeling that this was really, really, close, and that perhaps it would have been prudent not to declare a winner yet, but I suspect that Capriles has nothing.
