                OAS: In these last 290,402 votes, Morales was up 15% over previous voting while Mesa was down 15%. “Very unusual behavior" of the data.

              My aside: other analysts have pointed out that Morales seemed to gain at the expense of Mesa but not Chi and Ortiz, suggesting manipulation.

    OAS Audit: 1,575 voting tables representing 350k votes were calculated using TREP data. This exceeds the 40k vote margin ensuring a first-round Morales victory.

        OAS Audit: Technical manipulation is so severe that it should be investigated (and by implication, prosecuted, though the report doesn't say that) by the Bolivian government.

          OAS Audit: On-paper irregularities also undermine the integrity of the result.

              OAS Audit: "Taking in account the statistical projections, it is possible that" Morales won 1st place, but "improbable that he had obtained the 10% advantage to avoid a second round."
