Incumbent Nicolas Maduro was formally declared the victor in an election marred by accusations of fraud and intimidation. But regional and global leaders have expressed skepticism, with Panama cutting diplomatic ties.
That would be fine if there were a detailed report of the results online or declared somewhere so people could check the results in each municipality. Instead, the https://www.cne.gob.ve/ is still down, I have no idea where to see where Maduro won and lost and by how much…all we have is that…which is clearly fucked.
It still doesn’t legitimize this as evidence. Focus instead on the disparity between polling and vote count. Looks like this was already widely debunked.
polling can fail spectacularly. This is not about “evidence”, it is blatant obstruction by the official institutions that oversee the election, which is at least as bad. That is the only thing everyone is sure of at the moment.
