Venezuela: A Happy Birthday to All · Global Voices
David Sasaki

Miguel Octavio sarcastically wishes a happy birthday to “the amazing Gonzalez family.” He's referring to the nearly 2000 registered voters with the last name Gonzalez who were born on the same day, 32 years ago in the he western state of Zulia. Unbelievably, when Steven Dudley and Phil Gunson randomly called a dozen Gonzálezes out of the phonebook, “two said they were indeed celebrating birthdays Wednesday,” though neither was turning 32. Daniel Duquenal, meanwhile, takes a look at the newly released final report by the European Union on Venezuela's electoral process.
