International Observers Ratify Chávez's Triumph in Referendum
by Humberto Márquez

CARACAS - Although the opposition complained of fraud, the international election observer missions monitoring the recall referendum in Venezuela agreed Monday that President Hugo Chávez had won, and said they found no signs of fraud.

Nobel Peace laureate and former U.S. president Jimmy Carter and Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary-General César Gaviria said in a joint news briefing in Caracas that Chávez survived Sunday’s referendum.

"Our information coincides with the partial results presented by the National Electoral Council (CNE)," said Carter.

"The results are compatible with our figures, and we have not found any elements of fraud," said Gaviria.

I hope I'm wrong, but history keeps interfering with my hopes.
