I’m shocked he didn’t steal this election. What could have stopped him?
One story posted earlier today suggested that the military stopped him. No way to tell if it’s true, but it makes sense to me. Otherwise, he’d surely have stolen it with 96% of the vote, the way Fidel always did. And sent the designated 4% to prison for voting the wrong way.
the vote was probably more like 80/20 against. he just declared a small margin of victory so that he can regroup and take out a few opposition leaders and then have another vote.
