As I described earlier, the OAS audit identified an unauthorized server, interruption of the rapid count, unreliable data put in the official count, and apparent over-voting in Argentina as fatal flaws in the vote. https://twitter.com/CarwilBJ/status/1193507008001040388
The TREP server operators were contractors from Neotec and they have been denouncing irregularities for weeks, including the 23-hour interruption of their work. https://www.lostiempos.com/actualidad/pais/20191101/gerente-neotec-interrumpir-trep-fue-desastroso
On October 30, the Neotec team reported they were ordered to suspend operations, and (here is the clue of extreme irregularity) their Internet and power were cut. https://www.lostiempos.com/actualidad/pais/20191030/choque-ordeno-neotec-suspender-trep-razon-fue-cambio-tendencia-cc-mas
Following the November 10 audit report and the fall of Evo Morales, Supreme Electoral Tribunal President Maria Eugenia Choque Quispe was detained by police.
Following her detention, she told the press that she was "a prisoner of decisions imposed" upon her from the outside, and that the facts would come out. https://erbol.com.bo/seguridad/choque-%E2%80%9Che-sido-prisionera-de-decisiones-impuestas%E2%80%9D
Today, her lawyer Jhonny Castelú has stated that Choque Quispe has told authorities "how the suspension [of the count] and the cutoff of electricity for the count, of the internet" were carried out. https://eldeber.com.bo/156333_exvocal-choque-dice-que-recibio-orden-superior-y-suman-mas-aprehensiones
She also according to the same lawyer "mentioned names," presumably of those responsible either for executing these decisions or imposing them upon her. (same source)
The coinciding narratives of the OAS and TSE head Choque Quispe are strong evidence that fraud was committed. I for one will stop using "alleged" as a preface to describing electoral fraud in the October 20 election.
There has been a lot of Twitter debate about the nature of the coup/uprising/resignation, but very little about #Fraud/ #FraudeElectoral, and this is a vital issue for many Bolivians.
Also @MarkWeisbrot, you need to absolutely stop saying "they never presented any evidence at all." You evidently haven't followed the Bolivian press. @democracynow
