Woman arrested for claiming her vote erroneously went to the PSUV candidate

Woman says she voted for the opposition candidate but her paper receipt said the chavista candidate. She was arrested by the National Guard. Elections today for the mayors of San Cristobol and San Diego for the mayor as both town's mayors were imprisoned by chavistas for not repressing the protests. Both of the mayors' wives are running on the opposition ticket.

Both in San Diego and San Cristobal the opposition candidates, both of them the wives of the mayors they're replacing who were arrested by the regime, won by a landslide: 87% in SD, and 73% in SC. What's interesting is that they obtained an even greater percentage than what their spouses got in the December elections. Sure indicates how people are unsurprisingly supporting the PSUV less and less every day.
