It might help to know what lead to Chavez/Maduro. Because if all that happens is that you replace them with people who represent the governing elite prior to 1999, you'll have someone like Chavez/Maduro returning to power in 8-10 years. When you have to literally weigh your money to find the value relative to USD or even other South American currency. The alternative to Chavez/Maduro has to be seen as competent.....see Milei in Argentina.
The thing Milei did in his campaign and has thus far governed is that he did not present himself as Santa Claus.

Exit polls showed Maduro losing by over 30 points. He didn't even crack 20% in many pre-election polls
Do we have a detailed breakdown of Maduro areas in Venezuela and opposition areas?

It’s weird how she doesn’t make clear on exactly what she’s referencing here as the “will of the Venezuelan people” given the situation at hand.

Well isn’t this just fitting. He had the chance to help delay ours until it could be resolved but didn’t. And now chimes on on this one.

Gee, they used the exact same tactics that were used in America in 2020. It’s fine if it happens in America but not in another country? At some point America should matter to people who were leaders or are leaders.
Americans cannot stay home this election and let this happen

Maduro mobilized the army to seize ballot boxes and insist he won.
He doth protest too much.

Opposition say they win.
"official" state results say Maduro "won" 51-44 (all candidate vote totals were like 130%).
Other countries in S America will have to get involved to oust him. The Venezuelan people are largely helpless, but this has the makings of a civil war.

Given that Maduro is trying to do shite that would throw the continent into chaos, such as trying to claim huge chunks of Guyana, I don’t think it will be an issue for various other SAm countries to say “leave or we will make you leave.”

U.S. Investigates Voting Machines’ Venezuela Ties Oct. 29, 2006
The federal government is investigating the takeover last year of a leading American manufacturer of electronic voting systems by a small software company that has been linked to the leftist Venezuelan government of President Hugo Chávez.
The inquiry is focusing on the Venezuelan owners of the software company, the Smartmatic Corporation, and is trying to determine whether the government in Caracas has any control or influence over the firm’s operations, government officials and others familiar with the investigation said.
The inquiry on the eve of the midterm elections is being conducted by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or Cfius, the same panel of 12 government agencies that reviewed the abortive attempt by a company in Dubai to take over operations at six American ports earlier this year.
The committee’s formal inquiry into Smartmatic and its subsidiary, Sequoia Voting Systems of Oakland, Calif., was first reported Saturday in The Miami Herald.

These are the data that we handled with the command of Maria Corina Machado until the regime decided to cut off the transmission of data from the CNE. ••• The difference is so abysmal that it is impossible for them to even draw a result, so even the CNE page is still down.
