Nice to see the EU verified it too.
But did Jimmy Carter sign off? I refuse to believe any election results otherwise.
just a matter of days before jimmy Carter certifies the election as legitimate.
i like how he has 100% of their parliamentary body and will remove presidential term limits. Can you say communism?

Sounds like our Dems went down there and held the election FOR HIM. Just following the role model of Cuba ---
Of course, the Dems and liberals will call this a valid election...while the Iraqi elections with larger turnouts than our own PLUS the inclusion of Sunnis means nothing. Or worse, they portray it as a failure...
They are despicable.
"A two-thirds majority in parliament will allow Mr Chavez to remove the current constitutional limit of two presidential terms in office."
I suppose he doesn't need "socialism" anymore as political cover for dictatorship. He's got Cuban agents and Diebold voting machines.
DNC wet dream: Republicans sit out the next election and only 25% of registered voters in America vote.
The solution for this crazy clown dictator called Chavez is a bullet in his head.
Wow. Some "populist" movement. I'm sure DU'ers are just a blue dress away from declaring it a mandate.
Russia and China are jumping up and down with joy right now.
He's locked up the country and destroyed democracy.
I think VZ lost its best and only chance to get rid of this megalomaniac in the 2002 brief removal of chavez which was spectacularly bungled. If the general strike had been started IMMEDIATELY upon his return to power, instead of waiting 6-8 months,maybe that would have worked too.
everything since then has been been an uphill struggle with no reason to expect success. Chavez is a lifer. I imagine he wanted to provoke the opposition parties into boycotting this election. Now they are completely out of the government, period.
The vote would have turned out the same, boycott or not, the government would have seen to it. As Stalin said, it doesn't matter who votes, only who counts the votes.
