He's claiming 51% of the vote. Considering his structural advantage, state backing and massive propaganda machinethis means the election was stolen.

I think that's how the Republicans decided that Acorn Stole the election for Obama last year.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

What did the exit polls say?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I'd like some proof that he cheated before I condemn him.  Concluding he won therefore he cheated seems silly to me.

If he cheated and lost, he didn't do it right!

Better that Maduro won.  That whole system is on the verge of a nasty breakdown.

If he only claimed 51% and stole it I applaud his restraint.

Good point.  I have no idea where the chips will fall, but there seems to be some serious factionalization just within the Chavista ranks.  Who knows, we could have a three-way conflict between the militia, army, and the huge well-armed gangs before it's all over.

That what Chavez did for the referendum. Cheated up to 51% to make it look realistic.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I think the recount, if it happens, should be based upon which guy wore more variations of Venezuelan track suits and hats throughout the campaign.

Anyway, I'm comforted to know that Maduro is such a thoughtful & pious man:
