There’s no other way to put it. Venezuela’s socialist president Nicolás Maduro has used his government-controlled electoral authority to “win” reelection. Discrepancies between the exit polls and the “official” results are too great to attribute to margin of error.
Exit polls (Edison Research, WSJ):
Opposition leader González: 65%
Socialist dictator Maduro: 31%
Results from the Election Council:
Socialist dictator Maduro: 51.2%
Opposition leader González: 44.2%
Maduro exit polls showed he lost by 34-points but the “official” Election Council results show he “won” by 7-points. That didn’t happen.
Reactions on social media are coming in.
According to The Guardian:
After a six-hour delay in releasing the results of Sunday’s poll prompted international concern, Venezuela’s electoral council claimed Maduro had won with 51.21% of votes compared with 44.2% for his rival, the former diplomat Edmundo González Urrutia.
The council said that with about 80% of votes counted, Maduro had secured more than 5m compared with González’s 4.4m.
Independent observers had described the election as the most arbitrary in recent years, even by the standards of an authoritarian regime that started with Maduro’s mentor and predecessor, Hugo Chávez.
Critics blame Maduro for leading Venezuela into a crippling economic and social crisis, as well as turning the country into an increasingly repressive state where political opponents are routinely jailed and tortured.
As they say, you can vote yourself into socialism but you can’t vote yourself out of it.
With the help of Dominion Voting Systems, which in the past has played a role in Maduro's success in the Venezuelan elections.
County sheriffs all over America may have to descend upon the ballot counting locations to set up a defensive barrier to the swarms of armed BLM-Antifa thugs being sent in by operatives of the Deep State who plan to interrupt the vote count in the various precincts around America. In order to have a sufficient number of persons to fill these defensive position, it may be necessary to deputize the reliable gun owners in every county where this option may be exercised.
We still have the Second Amendment.
He is actually Putin’s guy and is part of BRICS.
See post 23. He is BRICS and not Biden’s guy!
Troubling signs for our election: Kamala already congratulated Venezuela for a democratic election.
Same gonna happen here. At this point only a few need to be dispatched. I believe the rest would get the message.
Kamala is a pure bred Communist. NEVER FORGET THAT....................
The same Dominion that successfully sued FOX News for millions for daring to suggest they facilitated Vote Fraud in 2020? Of course, that judgement may have more to do with which judge the lawsuit was shopped to.
As you probably know I have serially predicted that the November election will be postponed and we will likely need a military intervention. I am not expecting to be at the polls on November 5th.
Exit polls are illegal in Venezuela and no exit sampling is allowed. The opposition agrees with this law and last night announced that any and all exit polls cannot be accurate.
The interviews we see are with members of their local Swamp. Opposition people, “business leaders”, local “independent media” and never, ever, ever with people in the slums who are dependent on govt handouts. They don’t get interviewed because they live in areas that would be dangerous to MSM types.
Chavez and Maduro win by essentially buying votes in the slums. Those non Swamp types are the MAJORITY. This is what enrages the MSM. They poor outnumber the rest and THEY VOTE.
So do not presume Maduro lost that election. His numbers do not look hugely different from Chavez’s. Did he buy votes? Every govt program anywhere in the world is buying votes.
“DEMONcrat are Stealing the USA Election”!
It wouldn’t be the first time. South American democracy is a joke and always has been. Sadly, we are becoming like them.
Guess no such thing as “too big to rig” after all.
Maduro will be no more or less legitimately elected than Biden was.
Blatant, in your face, and nothing will be done about it, either here or there. There will be a hue and cry from governments all across the globe but in the end tomorrow will be just another day..................
People act like this hasn’t happened in several times before.
I wish the u.n. would weigh in...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let’s go senor Brandon!
I get the impression that Kamala Harris approves of the Maduro victory. Most likely this is a floated balloon, and she will deny that she in any way approves if enough slap-back occurs. You can assume she would otherwise go along with international totalitarian sentiment, if she could benefit politically. The Democrats have plenty to be concerned about if they suddenly start recognizing factual popular election outcomes anywhere.
Good to see you are not one of those “election deniers” and conspiracy theorists.
Maduro stole it fair and square!
Welcome to “democracy”.
