“An AP analysis of vote tally sheets released Friday by Venezuela’s main opposition indicates that their candidate won significantly more votes in Sunday’s election than the government has claimed, casting serious doubt on the official declaration that President Nicolás Maduro won.”
“According to the calculations, the opposition’s Edmundo González received 6.89 million votes, nearly half a million more than the government says Maduro won with. The tabulations also show Maduro received 3.13 million votes from the tally sheets released.
By comparison, updated results from the governmental National Electoral Council made public Friday said that based on 96.87% of tally sheets, Maduro had 6.4 million votes and Gonzalez 5.3 million. National Electoral Council President Elvis Amoroso attributed the delay in updating results to “massive attacks” on the “technological infrastructure.”
Exactly what we are currently doing. Provide an incentive for free and fair elections. If the election is proven to be stolen then I’d assemble a coalition of local forces to oppose Maduro. Hopefully backed up by other regional players.
Otherwise you’ll see more aggression from dictators like him. Venezuela getting aggressive with more than one regional neighbor like Guyana could be the outcome if Maduro isn’t checked.
