Note that this is very different.

In the other post, I blame some idiot that took the rounded percents numbers and used proportionality to get the totals. An evil fraudster will try to make up numbers for each province and county and get total numbers for each party. They can even let the opposition win in some states were it obvious the will win and compensate winning all the other states.

In this post, the difference can only be explained if one side is lying, (un)rounding error can't fix it.

From the same paper that reported credulously on Havana Syndrome and Iraqi WMDs

And a few others.

However, even a blind squirrel can find a nut every now and again. If their editors allow it.

Sure, but the CNE has turned over its election data to the supreme court and the US State Department said the US had not recognized González as president–a departure from a previous position assumed by Secretary Blinken.

Also this routine dance happens basically every election of a South American country with really important resources they don't want stolen by US corporations (see: Bolivia, all previous Venezuela elections, etc)

Take this with grain of salt. After seeing how American did 2020 election with so many centurians that would put Japanese to shame and chasing out observers with lots of luggage votes, I am disinclined to read anything about democracy by American media, especially WAPO.

Luggage votes? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, my friend. Please provide some.

Here here.

Huh? Luggage votes?
