De Reserva a Presidente: My Day as a CNE Table Member
It wasn’t a part of the plan, but last Sunday I had to be “presidente de mesa” at my voting center. It would eventually prove to be a day full of improvisation, order and plot twists.

What Fraud Looks Like
Eleven pictures are worth one word: Fraud. Here's a side-by-side comparison of every sketchy Bolivar machine tally that MUD has processed so far —more are on the way— and the tampered results that CNE published on its site. Have a great day.
“It’s Ocariz or my CLAP”
Last Sunday, the PSUV displayed how far it was willing to go to win an election – and fear remains its main tool.

PSUV Steals Bolívar State Governor's Race
MUD presents crystal clear evidence that tallying fraud was used to steal the governorship of Bolívar State.
What (The Hell) Happened in Miranda
How did the opposition lose a state that had been in the bag for almost ten years? Here are three theories and one conclusion.

This isn’t going to be like July 30th, when evidence of fraud began to pile on almost from the moment the polls closed. This is going to be like April 2013, when the opposition signalled fraud but could never prove it.
