Carter confirms Chavez survives vote

His monitors conducted a quick count at polling sites and the results were "almost exactly the same as the results" provided earlier by the National Electoral Council, Carter said at a news conference.

Since Carter says it, it must be true!

Isn't it interesting that Carter has "called" the election before the Venezuelan
government has?

I guess the dems have put their "stamp of approval" on this socialist.

Opponents accuse him of steering Venezuela toward communism and of riding roughshod over the nation's democratic institutions.

how many times will we involve ourselves in a country that obviously wants chavez as president?

Why exactly was Jimmy (sigh, Jimmy, Bill, whats with that?) Carter there to begin with?

What I find amazing is that the electronic voting machines in a third world banana republic provide a printed verifiable audit trail, which is not available here in the states.

In the USA, elections are LOCAL events. It is up to localities to implement voting systems. Not the Federal guvamints.

Yeah besides i dont think having the government know exactly who votes for who is rather wise in any government especially one run by a tyrant who would kill anyone named who voted against them.

From what I understand, they haven't officially called the election yet because of problems. Only the MIGHTY Carter has.....

You know, I hope the "inspectors" coming here don't think they are going to have the right to call OUR election. What makes Carter so special that he can "call" their election?
