    “It is IMPOSSIBLE for the 'government' to steal ballots!”

    Maybe, maybe not.

    Not impossible for TMBOA to BUY votes though, as usual.

    HA, HA, HA, HA.

    This is what I've been hearing today from friends in BA.

    - Anibal Fernandez photographed coming out a polling station with his pockets stuffed with ballot papers.

    - Photographs of ballot papers stuffed in waste bins.

    - People turning up to vote and being told they've voted already.

    - A friend voted today in BA and the girl trying to look up her name didn't understand alphabetical order!

    - 56% turnout.

    Argentina, irrespective of who you support, either wake up and react to your democracy being abused or stop complaining and accept that you are being governed by a corrupt, deadly (Nisman), incompetent dictatorship.

    I was a Fiscal General yesterday; the voting papers would be 19 meters long if they were all joined together, an absolute disgrace as it seriously complicated the counting process. We had a lot of voting papers stolen so we had to keep checking if any were missing and we had problems with La Campora who tried to disrupt the voting process and we had to call the police. A lot of aggression against La Campora on the part of the people waiting in line to vote,

    The result of the vote is a disgrace; Scioli is no sweet innocent and he recently bought an estancia in Rojas (the best land in Argentina) for 49 million USD; he has a very bad track record and Anibal Fernandez is a drug dealer and has been involved in a triple assassination. The Argentines just don't seem to learn; a bunch of masochists and we all have to suffer due to their gross ignorance.
