" The US State Department in a travel warning said there was "a potential for violence"."
But not a color!!#@@!! So what are people to do without vauge warnings!#@
"Venezuelans are voting in a referendum that will either remove populist leader Hugo Chavez from the presidency or keep him in office for two more years."
"The president's opponents called the referendum, accusing him of dictatorial behaviour and economic mismanagement.
But his supporters say he is the first president to care about Venezuela's poor. Polls suggest a close result. "
"Voters are being asked to answer "Yes" or "No" on touch-screen voting machines to the question whether President Chavez should be recalled from office. His current term runs until 2006.
Both sides say they will respect the result but there are worries over possible violence if it is close.
On Saturday, pro-Chavez militants on motorbikes encircled privately-owned television stations, warning they would attack if announcements of the referendum result were made early. "
