President Nicolás Maduro has won Venezuela's presidential election, according to partial results published by the electoral council.

The head of the National Electoral Council (CNE), Elvis Amoroso, who is a close ally of Mr Maduro, said that with 80% of votes counted, President Maduro had 51.20% of the vote, compared to 44.02% for his main rival.

Things are about to get messy.

I’m shocked. Nothing to see here.

Time to invade Guyana.

Not possible, we all know that election fraud NEVER HAPPENS. LOL.

Let’s see if the Neocons and Leftists are as silent about this fraud as they were about the fraud against Trump. Somehow I think we’ll be hearing that fraud is possible.

What a shock!

What Kamala Harris says about this will be very consequential. She can't stay quiet and hide behind Biden since he stepped down from reelection.

President Trump should say nothing and wait for Harris to put out a statement first.

Predictable, and predicted, of course.

Somehow I knew he was going to cheat.

As usual for Venezuela 🇻🇪.

Let me guess. He got 91 million votes

The opposition election observers were only allowed in to view the counting at 30% of polling stations. Similar to Detroit in 2020, and several other RAT controlled cities.

..And just like that, the flip has again flopped.

Several FR posters predicted this, only a few hours ago, when it appeared Maduro had finally been booted out by the will of the people.

[nickcarraway]

I never thought for a second Maduro would “lose.”

[Billyv]

Thought the exit polls showed the challenger with a +30 pt lead…..

Nothing to see, move along!

NCSWIC, WWG1WGA!

I saw a video on Twitter where armed thugs came into town and stole all the ballot boxes.

A foreshadow of 100 days from now.

“Things are about to get messy.”

As awful as it is to say, I hope so.

I hope the army mutinies and The Venezuelan socialist, are hung on power poles.

A certain political party in this country needs to worry about their rhetoric, actions, and plans. They need to fear that it could happen to them.

I am not making threats, just expressing my hopes and dreams.

Like they should. Maybe Venezuelans will value liberty more than we do. Or maybe they will be subjugated with a whimper just like we are since we showed the way in ‘20?

I imagine so...
