If the lottery administrator's daughter wins the lottery, he may say "no, no - don't you see, her probability of getting the winning numbers is exactly the same as anyone else's!"

But in reality, we can say that:

- her probability of winning in the world where her father is cheating is very high

- her probability of winning in the world where her father isn't cheating is very low

Together these two facts give us evidence about which world we're actually inhabiting - though of course we can never be completely certain!

In the same way, yes, it's equally (im)probable that the winning percent will be 51.211643879% or 51.200000000%. But the latter is more likely to occur in a world where Maduro said "get me 51.2% of the votes" and someone just did that mechanically with a pocket calculator, which is good evidence about which world we live in.
