Thinking that the US state department controls math - and the Venezuelan vote system's integrity is above mathematics - is a new low.
A joke comes to mind: Children are giggling and misbehaving in class so the math teacher storms out: - If you do not pay attention then 80% of the class will fail the tests! Someone from back row: - Bollocks! We aren't that many in the class!
I didn't say "US state department controls math" that's a nice strawman. I said there's a reasonable explanation for the anomaly but the real reason you're seeing this is because of the State Dept's dissatisfaction with the election. I'd hope at least the crowd on HN would be smart enough not to be duped by the establishment but I guess not.
Of course you didn't say that, that was an irony you silly, you just do not understand math and draw out sensless mass manipulation bollocks from your desperation hat as a consequence. Not understanding the obvious.
As I expected, it makes no attempt to offer any evidence that the CNE has published reliable results, or that the math in TFA is faulty in any way. It simply talks about the difficulty of falsifying specific documents, and how that would make it difficult for a false report to continue when pressed (which is exactly what's happening - Maduro is pressed, and has no evidence to show). And it concludes with a pretty strong suggestion that the CNE's unverifiable tallies are, in fact, a lie.
So, I appreciate the independent confirmation that Maduro's victory is a likely sham. It's also quite reassuring to note that producing actual fake ballots would, in fact, be extremely difficult - just as you claimed! That gives me hope that Maduro will fail to convince others of his victory, since it's probably a complete fabrication.
