  Wonderful, thanks! I really struggled to find this. Funnily enough they give different percentages. 51.1% to 44.2% round and round we go

    No. The percentages reported don't matter. These are the same absolute vote numbers; the percentage they work out to is what matters. This seems to be tripping a lot of people up.

      It certainly does! Watch the video. No total number is ever reported This means that "total votes" number was worked backwards by a third party. It's not even the CNE's fuckup

        No. Watch the video. After Gonzalez' result, he reads the results para otros candidatos†. It's the same as the number in this post. It literally doesn't matter what else happens after this; you can reconstruct the result, after less than 2 minutes of the video's runtime. It's cooked. † as you can see, i am not a fluent speaker of Spanish, and i managed to work it out :)

        > This means that "total votes" number was worked backwards by a third party. Any school child can "work backwards" that if the vote counts are X for Maduro, Y for Gonzalez and Z for others the total number of votes cast for any of the candidates is X+Y+Z.
