First reliable estimate of abstention for Lara

December 4, 2005

Globovision was just showing a voting center in Lara State(I think) and
they allowed me to do a very quick exit poll of attendance there. As
the lady on the TV screen searched for a name, you could easily see how
many voters in each page had a fingerprint stamp. She passed five
pages, four had one fingerprint, one had two for a total of 6 votes out
of a possible 50 or 88% abstention with a sampling error of 7% at that
voting center.
