In 2019, among the 226 actas that the OAS claimed were proof of fraud, were 8 from a voting center in Villa Tunari. We don't have full results for 2020, but 13 actas from the same voting center have been processed. MAS doing even better. The. OAS. Has. Been. Lying. All. Along.
We've got official results data for 13 voting centers where, in 2019, the OAS alleged that ALL of the tally sheets were fraudulent. Here's how things look in 2020 compared to 2019.
Here is how the vote is going this year in all 86 voting centers where the @OAS_official alleged that actas had been forged last year.
Of course, we didn't need 2020 results to show that the OAS claims about these 226 tally sheets were incorrect. We explained all this in detail seven months ago: cepr.net/wp-content/upl…

THREAD: @OAS_official released its final audit of the Bolivian elections. In the 35 days since it released a preliminary report: Evo Morales was ousted in a coup; an opposition Senator swore herself in as president; 30+ have been killed, most by state security forces.
@OAS_official The Oct 20 results were annulled. The congress is working w/ the de facto gov’t to hold new elections. But can the OAS be an impartial election observer going fwd? All of the OAS’s Bolivia elections work has had serious problems. The final audit is no exception.
@OAS_official From day one, OAS claims have fueled an overarching fraud narrative. On Oct 20, the TSE (electoral authority) announced results of a non-binding preliminary vote count (TREP) w/ 84% of the vote counted. Morales led his nearest competitor, Carlos Mesa, by 7.9 percentage points.
THREAD: Today marks one year since police officers and armed gangs stormed the Port-au-Prince neighborhood of La Saline, massacring 71 individuals. Local and international human rights reports alleged the involvement of government officials.
The intellectual authors of this crime have yet to face justice. It took 10 months for the two government officials allegedly involved to even resign from their posts. They both remain free.
The government has countered that the violence in La Saline was simply gang related, and not political. But the massacre took place amid a growing uprising demanding accountability for government corruption.
Thread: Last week I returned to the Maranatha school near Haiti’s Grand Ravine neighborhood. In November, a police operation gone wrong resulted in a civilian massacre on the campus. theintercept.com/2018/01/10/hai…
The courtyard that was bloodstained and full of bullet shells and tear gas canisters last time I was there, was instead full of children playing.
In one classroom, seniors were learning Spanish. In another, a professor was teaching math to younger students. The director, arrested the day of the massacre, was finally back in his office – back at the school he has led for 30 years.
