Elections updates
Updated September 27 at 7:30 p.m. EDT
The Venezuelan press reports that Hugo Chavez's manipulation with the votes makes certain states with less population to be over represented with delegates providing a winning edge for Chavez. Isn't this against the law? Chavez seems to control the results of the elections like it or not.
Ley hace que oposición obtenga más votos pero menos diputados
Nuestro sistema comicial contempla una sobre representación de los estados menos poblados, en los que domina el oficialismo.

Update September 27 at 5:55 a.m. EDT
Confirmed results from the www.cne.gov.ve report that the Venezuelan opposition (UNIDAD) won 60 representatives to the General Assembly and the Chavismo (PSUV) won 95 representatives.

There are still results to be announced, but at least the first official report confirms the following figures:

Update at 8:45 p.m EDT
The polling stations closed at 6:00 p.m. Caracas time, and citizens are waiting for the official results. Hopefully, Chavez's voting machines are not programmed to provide different results as has been reported in previous elections.
The Venezuelan press reports that police reinforcement are going out on the streets. The presence of the alleged Chavez's thugs para-motorcycles force is reported being controlled, and at least four groups of these awful individuals have been detained:

Update at 12:45 p.m. EDT
One of the opposition observers reported that at the National Pantheon there has been voters participation to 25 - 30 percent so far. The observer also reported a Chavista caravan driving by screaming pro-Chavez statements.
Chavez's alleged thug para-motorcycle force seems to be active and has already impeded a candidate to vote. However, the www.cne.gov.ve claims that the situations reported are under control.

Posted at 11:00 a.m. EDT
Venezuelan opposition members are sending pictures showing their finger marked as voted. By 9:00 a.m. at least eighty percent of the polling stations were open according to volunteers reporting.
The non-profit organization Asamblea de Educacion has available observers accredited by the www.cne.gov.ve/ in 21 locations and have enabled the following system to denounce fraud as caught, and to report anything of matter:
