Chavez' campaign command center is empty. Foreign Reporters and international observers are all in the Coordinadora's Headquarters. Members of Chavez' campaign command have visited the private TV stations they have not visited in almost six years. Only two people from the Government have claimed victory, both were part of the failed Comando Ayacucho and excluded from Comando Maisanta. The Coordinadora has said they will give out projections after the CNE amkes an announcement. You be the judge of what is happening...

IT'S A DONE DEAL, MORE THAN 7 MILLION VOTERS WITH SI 60% NO 40%

Danger of one last Chavista trick, as the lines continue slow, there is now the danger that we will not even get even half the voters to vote and the Si will not get the 3.7 million votes required. The CD is asking the international observers to apply all pressures on the Government.

It took me ten hours and twenty minutes to vote but I am happy camper. Now I have to go work until polls close. The numbers I am hearing from the exit polls are outstanding, I will get more before I post what I am hearing. But I understand in only three states is the Si losing. The President of the CNE came on TV to reveal a sinister plot by the opposition to announce at 8 PM that the Si had won, blaming the opposition. The tape turned out to be one made by a comedian a couple of weeks ago and broadcast repeatedly on TV during the last week. The comedian just appeared on TV laughing at the whole thing. Daniel reports the voting machines running out of battery in San Felipe and voting stopped for one hour and a half until recharged.

At 3 AM the Chavistas starting shooting rockets up in the air, blasting music and playing revelries. The music continues an hour later. I wonder what Jorge Rodriguez thinks of campaign music at this point? I am not sure what the purpose is. They certainly succeeded in waking me up to so that instead of going to vote at 7 AM, I will go at 6 AM. Not sure you mobilize people by waking them up, least of all by waking them up too early. Do long lines early promote or reduce abstention? I am not sure.
The barrio next to my house houses about 3,000 people, there are maybe 40 moving around,not that many lights on. Regular firecrackers are quite obnoxious given the time of day.
