It took me ten hours and twenty minutes to vote but I am happy camper. Now I have to go work until polls close. The numbers I am hearing from the exit polls are outstanding, I will get more before I post what I am hearing. But I understand in only three states is the Si losing. The President of the CNE came on TV to reveal a sinister plot by the opposition to announce at 8 PM that the Si had won, blaming the opposition. The tape turned out to be one made by a comedian a couple of weeks ago and broadcast repeatedly on TV during the last week. The comedian just appeared on TV laughing at the whole thing. Daniel reports the voting machines running out of battery in San Felipe and voting stopped for one hour and a half until recharged.

Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
