.............7:46 Teodoro Petkoff called upon CNE, CFUAN- military manning the elections - and other officials related to the electoral process to remind them about current legislation, stressing upon the fact that closed centres can not be reopened under any circumstances. Petokoff did so on behalf of Manuel Rosales affirming that whomever thinks it can force the reopening of centres is out of his bloody mind (Petkoff actually said "estan pelando bola," lost in translation..) Petokff also said that the audit process will take hours and Manuel Rosales will address the nation once conclusive results are known.......
The Chavez regieme announced that the American network Telmundo is forbidden to transmit or cover the election tonight.
Results expected later with Rosales camp confident but I don't think Chavez will allow himself to look bad even if the vote acutally went against him.
bttt
Has Chavez declared victory yet?
Ah, look. Your Allende dream state come true.
The Telesur network run by Chavez says he won. Their video link runs tonight but I am having trouble with others. You can register to get a live Globovision (Private news channel) link plus video clips without Registration.
Link is: http://www.globovision.com
How could you ban Telemundo network what happen of Hugo Chavez fav soap opera actress got kill???
Da Bennies got pineappplehead for life.
Move on already.
I think that its about election reporting by the network from Venezuela not the broadcasting of the network to Venezuela.
I see what wrong Hugo is Telmundo smack chat you IN SPANISH COME ON even my co workers diss you in Spanish and English
Yesterday I think.
LOL, you're probably right.
I think that if Hugo was really concerned about this "election," he'd have Jimmah "The Nobelmeister" Cahtah down there "counting" the votes for him. It must be "lookin' good" for the Commies.
8:10pm: Allegedly TELESUR, funded mainly by the Chavez administration, reported that Hugo Chavez won the election. Enrique Andres Pretel from Reuters, in similar irresponsible fashion, reported that an exit poll from Evans/McDonough, whose work is paid for by PDVSA, suggest that Chavez already won. At this hour CNE officials are yet to announce results for the audit process started recently. Note added: TELESUR is not only funded by Chavez it was constituted and is registered in Caracas, therefore such reports are in clear violation to electoral legislation.
I hope Jimmy Carter is there in order to insure a fair election.
Nah, he decided to phone in the "clean election" report. I'm series.
He, Hugo and Cindy are having a 3-way later this evening
8:51pm: In a new low Reuters published "UPDATE 6-Chavez heads to Venezuela reelection-exit pollster" starting the article thusly: (Venezuelan law prohibits the dissemination of polls until the National Electoral Council starts publishing official results. This article is for publication outside of Venezuela). Reporting from Caracas Reuters and its reporters claim that it is prohibited to disseminate polls, however lack of even preliminary results notwithstanding, the news agency keeps publishing its updates.
Read earlier that he has a team down there to do "limited" verification....whatever that means.
Probably means verifying ballot boxes are suitably stuffed with Chavez votes. Carter is a Socialist (Communist) Sympathizer.
