Want to see some graphic violence? Here is La Prensa’s presentation of the election results in Honduras 🇭🇳.
[A bar graph of the Nicaraguan elections in which the bar for the person who came in second with 33.87% of the vote (607,237) is 183 pixels tall and placed to the leftmost, the bar for the winner with 53.61% of the vote (961,181) is 156 pixels tall, and the bar for the person in third with 9.21% of the vote (165,203) is 120 pixels tall.]

You know what? This pisses me off so much I’ma correct it.
[ID: bar graph from the above image edited in MSPaint so that the 33.87% bar is 68 pixels tall, the 53.61% bar is 107 pixels tall, and the 9.21% bar is 18 pixels tall. The “La Prensa” logo has been crossed out and in the space freed up I’ve written “Presented by lying propagandists, corrected by Tumblr user lordandgodoftheobvious using their own fucking information.” End ID.]
Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that second-place guy got rounded up while the others got rounded down, and while this wasn’t intentionally done (it’s an artifact of my “1% = 2 pixels” scheme) it rather emphasizes the point, don’t it?
