No matter who the winner, Venezuela is in for a hard ride.

Lots of dodgy stuff, ballots missing, people being told they had already voted, purple finger ink easily washed off, embassys closing preventing people voting, intimidation from "assisted voting", groups hanging around the voting booths, etc etc

If I was Capriles I would consider forming a massive protest that marches on the main government building and have everyone chain themselves to whatever is standing until a re-vote is called. Unbelievable. What a farce.

1.59 percent difference, 50.66 percent to 49.07 percent.

Opposition leader Henrique Capriles on Monday called on Venezuelans to take to the streets and peacefully demand a vote recount if election authorities formally proclaim Hugo Chavez's chosen successor as the next president.
