24. Wrong, the audit was to include ALL of that.

Apr 2013

Capriles' formal request was to audit the entire process, that includes making sure that the fingerprint machines work, which observers from UNASUR found did not. It also includes comparing the voter registry with the rolls and the box count.

After pressure from UNASUR the CNE came out and said, "Well, we'll do an audit."

Then a day or so later they outlined what the "audit" would be, which was decidedly not what Capriles requested.

The opposition has not been allowed to look at the registry or the rolls.

In the end they will not be allowed to do so.
