Correction on Cuba
When writing about the recent election in Cuba, I argued that given abstentions and invalid votes, Fidel could not have received more than 95.26% of the vote. That logic, however, is wrong because the votes for candidates are calculated per district, not nationally. In his district, Fidel won 98.2% and Raúl received 99.3% (h/t The Latin Americanist). Gotta love Cuban elections.

You'd think just for general credibility, and to give the useful idiots some talking points, the Cuban communists would makeup lower numbers. Say, 70 percentile range, or so.
Oh, OT but did you see Hugo's Facebook page?
