If you have any questions or comments about me, you can make a post to LW Support lemmy community.
I’d be slightly surprised if her numbers were accurate. Although idk what the sentiment has been like since she was barred from running. Maybe it really did inspire voters to turn out
What I understand is that in Venezuela you can ask for a voting “receipt” to know the results for the station where you voted (done electronically) so if you’ve got enough of those you can tell if the public numbers are real or not.
Those receipts never got released by the government but the opposition acquired enough of them to prove that the results are fake.
So all the authoritarian sympathizers in this thread who are falsely claiming that the opposition is making it up can look for themselves. Maduro could just release the full data set with all these polling station receipts anytime he wants too, but he continues to refuse. I wonder why…
Also, the official results are pretty sketch. Maduro got 51.2% exactly. That would be fairly unlikely to get a vote tally to an exact tenth of a decimal but it could totally happen. But Gonzalez got 44.2% exactly as well (the third guy clearly got an exact tenth of a decibel too because basic math). The likelihood of both of them getting that is 1 in 100 million.
They had time to make a cryptic post that could manipulate public sentiment, but couldn’t have lead with the evidence they claim to have? Yeah, nah that sus.
Either put out the proof or don’t make the claim. Until that point, this person cannot be trusted.
While Maduro tries to imprison them all and prevent the release of any results, the opposition is working hard to compile all the results they can get their hands on online for anyone to see:
Following the CNE’s announcement that Maduro won the election, the Venezuelan opposition has concentrated its efforts on digitizing and publishing on the internet the voting records showing that González won with nearly 70% of the votes, documents that the regime has so far been unable to produce.
Literally what the opposition is trying to do right now as Maduro hunts them across the country, trying to imprison them all or worse. Over 1,000 people from the opposition the regime Maduro has imprisoned. Meanwhile Maduro hasn’t released any documentation that backs up his ridiculous results, results that conflict with numerous independent exit polls that show a landslide victory for the opposition. The election monitors Maduro himself invited, the Carter Center, have widely condemned the election. Leftist leaders in Colombia and Brazil are condemning him.
The mission, led by the Carter Center, a pro-democracy organization, said late Tuesday that the election violated Venezuela’s own laws and the government’s failure to release a vote count was a “serious breach of electoral principles.”
Maduro has all the results immediately available to him and all the many recourses of an entire country’s government but won’t release. Meanwhile he’s busy hunting and jailing opposition members who are trying to go individually from polling station to polling station across the country to try and get copies of receipts while the government does everything in their power to prevent their release.
Boggles my mind anyone could try and defend Maduro.
