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.

#!It didn't really proof anything until the GN came out of that truck. Also, why is a government truck carrying voting boxes that should be transported by CNE vehicles? Isn't the CNE supposed to not have any political leanings? I find it odd that they would allow voting material to be carried by a PDVAL vehicle.
UPDATE: And some more violence carried out by the actual GN:
Second UPDATE: AND some more... This time it's chavistas backed by state police attacking opposition. So, wait, since when do police forces obey one particular political ideology? I thought they were not meant to take sides, only follow orders, and ensure that anyone showing some kind of hostility is dealt with.

(62,270 posts)That is fucking huge.
Chavistas are claiming it's fake.
That's why a recount is necessary. (The ballot box will have the correct total in it.)
Any supporters of democracy on this forum are fucking hypocrites if they don't want to check the validity of this.
I guess Capriles had evidence after all.
(Don't worry right wing chavista supporters the CNE won't investigate and this will be pushed under the rug. I expect in a few years the Carter Center will tell what really happened after Maduro is recalled in a few years and is trounced.)
