53. Why should anyone believe them?
They are a newspaper owned by corporations of the occupying power, with no actual reporters on the ground.

I note they say 72% of registered voters, not 72% of eligible voters. I recall hearing that only a small percentage of eligible voters registered. So, this 72% turnout is probably more like 10 to 20 percent, if that.
