Amazing how little reporting can be found in this New York Times article about Venezuela's parliamentary elections held yesterday. It just describes the official line, without mentioning that the vote in the previous elections when the machines were used was not secret and that the machines still maintained the sequence of the vote, so anyone knowing the order of voting would be able to find out the votes. What amounts to an admission of cheating is disguised as a concession to an infantile opposition. And that what we shall read all day today. By the way, some dumb chavistas are saying that the 75% of abstention is the 41% of votes the opposition got in the Recall Referendum plus the 30% that didn't vote. That is mathematically wrong. Those numbers would only give about 60% of total voters. (30% of voters plus 40% of the rest). Is this an intent to fool or ignorance?
