8. Nope. But it's cute that you deflect from this obvious ballot gaming.

Fortunately they opposition has instructed all people to vote on the bottom of the ballot, where none of the "gamed" voting positions are. This will not be much of a problem for 95-98% of the voters. It will slow things down as people vote for the wrong box and the printout doesn't represent their vote, though.

In any event, Capriles is going to win even with the gamemanship.
