They never did find any evidence of fraud in the October 20th election, but the media repeated the allegation so many times that it became "true," in this post-truth world. Thread:

4) My interview last night on BBC TV World News:
The latest OAS "audit", repeats a major falsehood from their previous reports, pretending that there was an "unusual" jump in Evo's vote margin towards the end of the quick count. But the change was in fact gradual, as later-reporting areas were more pro-Evo than earlier ones:
This fight is not over yet. The right-wing forces who have pulled off this coup with help from Rubio & the Trump administration still have to deal with the 47% of the country who, despite a media onslaught, voted for Evo. Bolivians may need international support for their safety.
And this is still a military coup. Nobody voted for Williams Kaliman, the Commander of the Bolivian Armed Forces. Some of the major media are already burying the fact it was he who pushed Evo out of the Presidency. Bolivia no longer has an elected, legitimate government.
