While it is difficult to “prove” there was fraud in the recent recall vote, the team studying the Electoral Registry has detected quite a few anomalies that should be of concern as they seem to be quite implausible from any perspective. There can be few explanations to any of the following numbers, more so when you consider that the census population includes all inhabitants in these towns from babies to the elderly. The first column shows the census populations of those towns in 2001, then the populations of the same towns according to INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica), finally it shows the number of people registered to vote in those towns. In some cases it is more than the ENTIRE population of the towns!:
