35% lead for opposition in upcoming elections Venezuela (Spanish)

http://www.lapatilla.com/site/2015/11/17/la-oposicion-con-35-puntos-de-ventaja-para-parlamentarias-del-6d-segun-datanalisis/

Since Venezuela represents a true democracy as government supporters have stated (JL and Polly), we should expect a massive opposition victory wholeheartedly accepted by the current leadership and begin the process of ridding Venezuela of the disastrous chavista regime.

I found this story on another site and one of the commenters said that some Venezolans were punished after the last election for voting wrong and that the voting-machines were hacked.

The polls say 28.2% for Maduro right now. And on election-day they will say 51% for Maduro. Whatcha gonna do?

Nothing would surprise me.

He needs to stay in power so he can get the money to pay for a lawyer for his drug-smuggling nephews.....

But no one can stand him anymore. He is a thief, a moron, a failure, a putz, and an embezzler who has run his country hard into the ground.

party, and are demanding public employees vote for chavistas or be fired. Nevertheless, they will lose and likely stuff the ballot box. Suspending the vote is a possibility but with fraud they can pretend they won.
