The Venezuelan Opposition’s Data Appears Fraudulent, Can’t Be Validated
More questions about the validity of the opposition’s tally sheets continue to rise while the Department of State zips its lip about the findings
Despite what you may hear about Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro declaring himself the winner in Venezuela’s most recent presidential election, nothing could be further from the truth. Such a claim relies heavily on willful ignorance about one of the most secure electoral systems in the world and the opposition claiming victory using data published outside that system.
Data that has been impossible to authenticate.
No one in the U.S. would accept results from President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, or Vice President Kamala Harris if they claimed victory with electoral data published outside the system, regardless of how much they cried fraud. Meanwhile, the world is supposed to blindly accept, as some commentators have, that this is what happened in another country because a U.S.-backed opposition party that has attempted multiple coups said so.
