  1. Apropos of #Venezuela's election… This is what a secure and auditable "acta" or official voting table document looks like in Bolivia, making for a clear paper trail and mutually accepted vote count.

      In Bolivia, electoral "jurors" are randomly selected just a couple weeks before the vote from the voting rolls. They sign and fingermark the acta (upper right), as can representatives of each party on the ballot (lower right).

        These precinct by precinct tables are only forwarded to the departmental electoral authorities for counting after agreed to by all parties locally.

          The ability for parties to observe in Venezuela was restricted by a requirement that all observers be registered voters in that particular precinct, slowing opposition efforts to compile their own count.

            In both countries, the governing party dominates some precincts, complicating trust in the vote for those locations, but a uniform paper trail should enable all skeptics to view the original ballots as well.
