Evidence of fraud in Venezuela is crude and overwhelming, as this @davidfeliba story explains. Authorities clearly drew percentages with just one decimal number, then calculated the votes needed to reach it. "One in a trillion" chance it was a coincidence, @fedetiberti estimates.
Venezuelan government officials "drew up percentages they wanted, and then calculated the votes needed from there," data scientists say.

🎙️ #PODCAST:
Nicolás Maduro claimed victory in Venezuela's Sunday election, but the opposition and a long list of observers find the announced results difficult to believe. @IgnacioPortes has the latest, and @CedeSilva has the view from Brazil.

1) Poor neighborhoods are protesting against Maduro at a level they haven't previously
2) Some protests are targeting military units, trying to convince them to turn against the regime
3) We haven't seen the full scale of counter-protest repression yet. It's going to get ugly.
Maduro expels ambassadors from Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, Dominican Republic and Uruguay. Brazil and Colombia, which had a more cautious stance waiting for some kind of proof that results were real, were spared so far.

El régimen de Maduro expulsó a los embajadores de Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Perú, Panamá, República Dominicana y Uruguay infobae.com/venezuela/2024/0…
Maduro's Prosecutor General says the "terrorist attack" that allegedly complicated their vote count came from "North Macedonia" and was organized by opposition leaders María Corina Machado, Leopoldo López, and others. Defies belief.

“El ataque habría sido realizado desde macedonia del norte y tendría como objetivo recabar información del CNE… ellos querían era adulterar la propias actas del sistema de votación… el principal líder de esta acción: Lester Toledo, Leopoldo López y MCM, estos tres… por lo tanto los fiscales están trabajando en esta investigación… los resultados electorales” aseguró el Fiscal General de la República Tarek William Saab.

Venezuela's electoral authorities said yesterday that they suffered a "terrorist attack" that complicated the vote count, and announced Maduro as the winner without publishing any data about any single state or individual voting station. brazilian.report/latin-ameri…
My (paywalled) story on Milei's win for the @BrazilianReport
brazilian.report/latin-ameri…
This chat with @gnribeiro when Sergio Massa took over Argentina's Economy Ministry last year still holds up pretty well if you want to know more about the candidate: youtube.com/watch?v=fTlZRJyD…
As for Milei, we have talked many times about him on the @BrazilianReport, but here is one of the latest ones after he won the primaries, also prescient in that I prediced that Boca would eliminate @Gnribeiro's Palmeiras on penalties 🤭 youtube.com/watch?v=2rkUgiS-…

Argentina's economy minister should have no business winning the presidency in a country yearning for change. But fears of Milei mean an unprecedented comeback is still possible, writes @IgnacioPortes.

🇦🇷🗳️ Peronist Economy Minister was the most voted candidate despite presiding over 150 percent yearly inflation. @IgnacioPortes explains what happened in #Argentina on Sunday.

Milei's spokesmen all but ruling out their chances of a first round win. Euphoria is gone. Massa camp much happier than expected. Official results start coming in a couple of hours.
With no votes officially counted, one of the top spokesmen in the Liberty Advances party, Guillermo Francos, said that “nobody is expecting a first round win” shortly after polling stations closed.

Pollsters had Javier Milei in third place ahead of Argentina's primaries, but as we warned our readers on Friday: Argentine pollsters very frequently get it wrong.
brazilian.report/latin-ameri…
On today's premium newsletter we went deeper, showing how vote for Milei correlated to distance with the capital Buenos Aires, where analysts and politicians are still scratching their heads about what happened.
That geographic distribution reminded me of many other recent elections, from Trump's 2016 win to Chile's "no" vote in Boric's constitutional referendum. You can read more about it here, either via subscription or through our 7-day free trial.

O representante da extrema-direita argentina, Javier Milei, tem uma história bizarríssima em que mandou clonar seu cachorro em seis novos filhotes e por isso começou a "falar com Deus" e a decidir coisas com leitura de tarô brazilian.report/latin-ameri…
