No one has yet to post the actual official statement by the CNE. It doesn't seem too unlikely that they had a total vote count as well as the percentages for each candidate and released those. It feels like people are jumping to some major conclusions in this thread



Here is the CNE press conference where the numbers were announced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB7g4y4M4s8


Wonderful, thanks! I really struggled to find this. Funnily enough they give different percentages. 51.1% to 44.2%

round and round we go


No. The percentages reported don't matter. These are the same absolute vote numbers; the percentage they work out to is what matters.

This seems to be tripping a lot of people up.


It certainly does! Watch the video. No total number is ever reported

This means that "total votes" number was worked backwards by a third party. It's not even the CNE's fuckup


No. Watch the video. After Gonzalez' result, he reads the results para otros candidatos†. It's the same as the number in this post. It literally doesn't matter what else happens after this; you can reconstruct the result, after less than 2 minutes of the video's runtime. It's cooked.

as you can see, i am not a fluent speaker of Spanish, and i managed to work it out :)

Any school child can "work backwards" that if the vote counts are X for Maduro, Y for Gonzalez and Z for others the total number of votes cast for any of the candidates is X+Y+Z.


cause they did not release any official statement, they only read those numbers on national TV and 8 hours later they made maduro sign the papers as a winners.

now, more than 72 hours after elections, we still dont know the results and there is not a single place to check the acts or the numbers by pooling center.

it was all fraud.
