Second bulletin finally in after five days, with 94% of the vote in, No still way ahead

December 7, 2007
It seems that it is now truly official,
after five days, the 300 million dollar system, the drums (for communications), the donkeys (for transportation)
and the abacuses (or abaci, for computing with digits) managed to count an additional 6% of the
vote and with 94% of the vote counted the result is that on the first
block of questions the results is:

NO 4.521.494 (50.65%)
SI 4.404.626 (49.34%)

For a 1.31% difference and on block B:

NO 4.539.707 (51.01%)
SI 4.360.014 (48.99%)

For a difference of 2.02%

Nobody
was able to vote on the transient articles, so I guess they are as
approved as they would have been if block A and B had been approved, or any
combination of the two with one approved and the other not approved.

Abstention so far is 43.85%

As
with so many things in this country, it is not a matter of machines,
money or technology, it is simply management, expertise and dedication. That is
why we now fly in milk from other countries to compensate
for shortages, apparently continue to export suitcases full of cash, this
time to Bolivia and you can bet the opposition will go on vacation next
week, expecting their newly found political gains to still be here when they come back in
mid-January.
