(62,536 posts)At first Maduro called for a full recount. Then they said there would be no recount at all. When they finally said they would do it it originally was simply an audit of the machines, now they will do a hand count of the rest of the ballots. This is dramatically different from what was initially proposed (no count at all).
You should check out that full report, it talks about all the issues I had with the elections, from the unnecessary fingerprinting (pre-vote checks), to the fact that Chavez used chains and dominated the media, to the butterfly ballot that they used which costed Capriles a few thousand votes to the fact that chavistas were allowed to use campaign regalia at the polling stations.
A recall in Miranda would be fascinating to watch.
