"We're going to fire you because you voted for Capriles"
(In Spanish) The video shows a recording of a meeting headed by the Sports Secretary of the Zulia state government. He is saying that people were taken to the voting booths, but that thanks to the “1×10” (a chavista operation whereby each person had to take ten voters to the polls) and thanks to a report from the Situation Room (?) they know they voted for Capriles, and they will be fired, because they’re chavistas, but they’re not idiots… (evidence of the recording notwithstanding)
