It was a landslide for the opposition candidate Gonzalez, 67% to Maduro’s 30%.

Sadly, the mathematical analysis in the OP is no match for the power of state brutality. It’s fun to point out the cheating, but ultimately it reminds me of xkcd 538.




How do the witnesses know how people voted? I can't find sources saying whether Venezuela has as secret ballot or not, but I assume so otherwise it would be all over the news


Witnesses representing political parties are entitled by law to a copy of the tally before the machine sends its results to a central server.

Each copy must be signed by all witnesses and also contains a digitally-signed hash of the tally at the bottom of the receipt.
