The minutes presented by the opposition do not lead to restaurant addresses
Venezuela’s Attorney General, Tarek William Saabdescribed a few days ago “apocryphal” (false) the minutes presented by the opposition. At the same time he assured that “When scanning the QR code of one of these, some little dolls or a restaurant address appeared”, but is this true?
What did Fake News Hunters conclude?
According to the organization’s study, “The published minutes do not reveal that deceased persons or those living abroad voted. Rather, they reveal the results of the tables where they appear registered according to the current Electoral Registry of the CNE.”.
In addition, they showed that QR codes do not lead to restaurant menus or cartoon pages. “They are a code about the state, center and table that summarizes the data in the minutes,” he says.
What did Saab say about the opposition’s minutes?
In the Interview with Fernando del RinconSaab said that the page where the opposition uploaded the records “gives totally apocryphal, false results, which usurp the Venezuelan Electoral Power there.”
The prosecutor added: “There are, for example, records of people who did not vote. Records of people who appear to have died voting, records of people who voted for one candidate and appear for another. But the most unusual thing is that many people entered the QR code and what appeared was some little figures or an address of a restaurant, etc. In other words, an apocryphal page.”
In fact, when scanning is done, citizens find information related to the voting centers in which they are registered and can see the results of their tables.
