 CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - An international audit concluded there are tens of thousands of dead voters listed on Venezuela's voter rolls, but the country's top electoral official said Tuesday that those errors are being fixed and do not amount to significant flaws.
The audit confirmed the voter registry is sound despite critics' claims of gross irregularities, electoral council president Jorge Rodriguez said.
Critics expressed doubts about the auditors' independence and accused the electoral council of siding with President Hugo Chavez, who is seeking re-election in December.
