39. Whatever was said before the formal request is irrelevant.

The formal request was a full audit of the system including the electoral rolls and registry. Sorry this is too hard for you to get your head around. Yes I can find a piecemeal quote where Capriles says "open the boxes." I can also find a quote (before the formal request) where he said he demanded a "full audit." Those quotes are irrelevant. The formal request, you know, the one that actually pushes forward an official request, was for a full audit and included the electoral rolls and registry.

These could be provided trivially in the auditing process, but it's clear that they don't care about the veracity of the vote, because they themselves said that the rolls were fundamental toward showing the legitimacy of the vote.

The CNE agreed to a 100% audit "with conditions." The end result of their proposal was decidedly not a 100% audit.
