LOL, just now reading your text about 'Where did they go?', so you meant for them to disappear!! Sorry.
Regarding the last Venezuelan election that Jimmy Carter holds in such high esteem:
(He actually said that the USA has never run an election as honestly as Venezuela)
I was kind of paying attention to the election; watching the news with interest due to some past connections with the country, and Hugo's opponent was winning quite handily about an hour before voting was supposed to close.....
So, Hugo and his minions held the polls open for several more hours past the scheduled close, and marched people in to vote again and again until Hugo won by a good margin.
