So, now we know what Capriles has on the CNE (infographic). [View all]

Apparently he has proof that 1176 polling stations had more votes for Maduro than for Chavez (in the previous election), which is statistically unlikely given that Maduro lost almost a million of Chavez' votes, those polling stations there were no opposition observers. He further states that opposition observers were forcefully removed from polling stations accounting to over 700k votes.

When this happened in Mexico (in 2006) a recount was had and the polling stations with fraud were invalidated. At the bare minimum the CNE should look into those polling stations. Capriles is correct to fight for the votes and like Mexico did for Andrés Manuel López Obrador the Venezuelan government should look into the fraud.

They will not do this.

edit: found this infographic made by the Capriles camp: http://venezuelasomostodos.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Incidencias-del-proceso-electoral-14A.pdf

Don't worry right wing supporters of tyranny, there won't be a count of the votes and the fraud will not be investigated. Just like in the US when it's not investigated.
