Update 10:50 p.m.: According to the Associated Press, Venezuela’s electoral council has declared that Hugo Chavez beat Henriques Capriles in Sunday’s presidential election with about 54 percent of the vote, despite exit polls showing otherwise.

Venezuela Twitter users have claimed Chavez’s victory was wrought with election fraud, and that the socialist incumbent president sent tanks into the streets of his country as those exit poll reports showed him losing. A picture of the tanks surfaced on Twitter Sunday evening.

The British Guardian newspaper reported that Chavez also sent troops armed with AK-47s into Venezuela’s streets to fight against any protests in case unrest came as a result of the news.

Well of course. The ends justify the means, you see.

I’m sure the DUmmies will just call the troops in the street a “parade” of spontaneous celebration.

Isn’t this the same crap that got Chavez in there in the first place?

They need a revolution.

Obama isn’t going to lose.

He’s going to cheat like Chavez did.

And the media will insist that it was the fairest election ever - just like in Venezuela.

That’s what happens when you don’t have a second amendment.

The crowds for Capriles on Friday were HUGE. I have a hard time believing that Chavez won honestly.

This outcome is predictable.
