A blog from VCrisis, a website that has been following events in Venezuela in recent years.
Today is Election Day. Chavez stayed home this weekend and didn't join the shindig in Havana yesterday like Evo Morales of Bolivia and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua. What is he planning? What will happen?

Chavez didn't leave because he was afraid of a coup.
Happened before and it can happen again. Too bad they let him back into power.

By way of update,
El Universal (Caracas) has reported the announcement of the Venezuelan National Electoral Council (CNE) that voting has ended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5:12 p.m.) CNE Declares Official End to the Voting Process
Caracas.-The official end of the day of voting was declared by the National Electoral Council (CNE) though the body ordered those centers which may still have voters in line to stay open.
The President of the CNE, Tibisay Lucena, stressed that once the process of voting is concluded in those centers they cannot accept more voters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will be posting more later.
