2013 Early Venezuela Presidential Election

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Given how close this is, this may turn out nasty.

I sure hope Capriles doesn't go down without a fact.

Until today, Venezuela was a flawed democracy. Now it's officially become a sham democracy.

Like Florida 2000?

In exactly the same way that you are like a Przewalski horse.

Well, I guess the comparison was unfair to Venezuela.

And here I thought you were an adult with decency.

Florida 2000 was clearly stolen. The verdict is still out on this.

Florida 2000 was clearly stolen.

This is as clear to everyone as that you have hoofs on all four of your feet.

What's the point of even talking about the possibility of stolen elections with people who won't admit that?

but your attitude toward this is uncomfortably reminiscent of the Republicans when George Bush stole his election.

You may have a rather different meaning of the word "to steal" than the one I find in common use.

OK, so the question is whether this Venezuelan election was "borrowed".

Am I the only one who thinks that their 5 score for political freedoms from Freedom House needs to be improved now that they had a Presidential election with a 1.5 point margin of victory?

Considering the unprecedented issues with this election, I'd say this is the first time they've actually deserved that 5. edit- wait how high does the scale go again?

7, and 5 is not considered a democracy.

Capriles calling for a full recount.

No doubt Republicans on this thread will suddenly be for recounts.

Capriles calling for a full recount.

No doubt Republicans on this thread will suddenly be for recounts.

Has Capriles called a recount only in Miami-Dade and Broward counties?

Gore called for a statewide recount a week after the election.

Maduro saying a coup is imminent. I'd laugh were the situation not so delicate.

Not that far fetched. Thing number #2881222 on the list of things that the Bush administration did without really thinking through.
