An ad-hominem is when I attack you or your character. I pointed out that your source is likely extremely biased.
And for the mathematical argument, the numbers he's analysing don't even match the reported votes in this other source that is highly critical of Maduro.

The reason for the discrepancy is the numbers are from when the CNE first oficially declared Maduro the winner of the elections. The numbers Terrence used are given by CNE's president himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1v1y1_8AKY.
The source you provided uses the last numbers given by the CNE.
If the elections were rigged, I'd prefer that to having a filthy imperialist gringo bootlicking politician in office, anything the PSUV has to offer is way better for the people in Latam. I don't give two fucks about satisfying your Western idea/ideal of whatever putrid thing you think democracy is. What an honour that the likes of you don't think this is a democracy.
