There was no anomaly in the Bolivian vote count. The quick partial
count, which covered 87% of the votes, found that Morales was not
leading by 10% and a second round would be needed. The full count
found a margin of over 10%, meaning no second round.
Morales had heavy support in rural areas whose votes were not reported in
until the quick count had got enough votes to issue its report.
Morales says that he fled Bolivia because someone offered a $50,000
reward for murdering him.
It looks like this was not a military coup such as we are accustomed
to seeing. Rather, the OAS fabricated the suspicion to create an
excuse to overthrow the government, and the wealthy right-wing
minority seized the opportunity.
This is what Republicans threaten to do in the US next year if they
lose. We must not let this daunt us. If we don't dare try to
vote them out of power, we have already lost.
