This is the Hand of God at work. To monitor God for fraud is heresy. ;)

Any word yet on True the Vote asking to monitor the up-coming special election in Rome? I worry that the burning of the ballots will make things hard on the post-election auditing process. (Apparently, "voter-verifiable paper
 audit trails" are banned in the Sistine Chapel.) Plus, some of the eligible voters are only known to the outgoing Pope (cardinals
in pectore). Surely signs of potential fraud.
Nate Silver hasn't developed a model yet, but some bookies are giving Cardinal Turkson from Ghana good odds. See
 one list of odds at: http://www.paddypower.com/bet/novelty-betting/current-affairs/pope-betting
   Note that Richard Dawkins is ranked near the bottom of the list at 666 to 1,
 but Bono of U2 is even lower.
More seriously, Cardinal Arinze from Nigeria is also given good odds, but I believe he is close to 80 and another short-term Pope may not be in the cards unless there is difficulty
 reaching agreement on somebody that could end up serving two decades, like Turkson, who is only 64.
