My best wishes to the Venezuelans; they will need all of it and more.

CARACAS, Venezuela—Strongman Nicolás Maduro’s regime vowed to crush a burgeoning protest movement against election results that cement his grip on power, amid growing evidence he lost by a wide margin and violent clashes between demonstrators and security forces.
Authorities had already begun arresting some opposition leaders, while a senior Maduro aide said police should lock up the president’s main challenger, 74-year-old retired diplomat Edmundo González, and María Corina Machado, a top opposition figure. Riot police on motorcycles and armored vehicles fired tear gas on crowds of opposition protesters Tuesday, as a coalition of four human-rights groups reported they had documented at least 11 deaths during countrywide street clashes.

Worry spread of more violence as Maduro—who promised a “bloodbath” if he lost the election—called on his supporters to rally around the presidential palace, a day after a host of angry protesters marched there and fought with government backers.

The Oppo has compiled a publicly accessible database of the tally sheets from the voting stations.

The opposition said it had collected data from 73% of the country’s voting stations on its own and compiled it in a publicly accessible database on Tuesday. Using their national identification, Venezuelans can sign in and review a scanned tally sheet from their voting station showing how many votes went to each candidate. The opposition says the database shows that their candidate, González, received 6.3 million votes to 2.8 million for Maduro.

“I found mine, the proof is there,” said Celina Ramirez, an opposition supporter who said she was able to log into the website to locate the tally sheet from her east Caracas voting center, which she said showed González receiving the lion’s share of votes. “There’s no way the regime can fool everyone with their tricks,” she added, carrying a Venezuelan flag as she walked with her family to join an opposition rally.

Hope springs eternal:

The opposition hopes the release of the database will increase pressure on Maduro’s autocratic regime to make public the detailed results of the election.

“Democratically elected” Mexican President AMLO shows his real opinion of democracy.

On Tuesday, Mexico’s left-wing president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, criticized other nations for pressuring Venezuela to address the widespread accusations of fraud.

“Why do they have to meddle in the affairs of other countries?” López Obrador said Tuesday in a press conference.

AMLO tells us it’s “meddling” to want to have election results released.

Here’s a howler:

“With fascism there’s no dialogue. With fascism there’s no forgiveness,” Jorge Rodríguez, a senior bMaduro aide, told supporters at the regime-controlled congress, who responded with a standing ovation.

CARACAS, Venezuela, and BOGOTÁ, Colombia — For a second straight day Venezuelans poured into the streets to protest what increasingly appears to be a stolen presidential election, but the defense minister pledged to crackdown on dissent and vowed loyalty to authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro.
Addressing a huge outdoor rally in Caracas, opposition leader María Corina Machado said her movement had obtained 84% of the voter tally sheets from Sunday’s balloting which showed that retired diplomat Edmundo González, had won in a landslide. González, she said, had received more than 7 million votes compared to 3.2 million for Maduro.
“This is irrefutable proof that we won,” said Machado who was replaced on Sunday’s ballot by González after she was banned from running by the Maduro regime. “We not only won. We destroyed them.”
On Monday, the National Electoral Council declared that Maduro had won a third term, beating Gonzalez by a 51% to 44% margin. However, the electoral council — which like most government institutions is controlled by the ruling Socialist Party — has declined to release any detailed ballot information to back up its numbers. Pre-election polls as well as election-day quick counts and exit surveys showed González with a huge lead.
As a result, allegations of fraud are multiplying and Venezuelans as well as foreign governments are calling on Maduro to release the official tally sheets from the more than 30,000 voting machines. Celso Amorim, an envoy for the leftwing government of Brazil, met with Maduro Monday and said the strongman had promised to release official data on the election.
“He said this would happen in a short period of time, from what I understood,” Amorim told The Financial Times.

In the US, there is too much lucre at stake for the corruptocrats NOT to rig the election.

But in Venezuela today, is there too little lucre left for the rigging to sail on and succeed? If so, then the united opposition may yet prevail.

The media plays along with its fake national polls showing the election is close. That’s the setup for the steal. Of course the Dems win CA by a landslide, but its always been a state-by-state election and if the Dems do the same thing this time like they did in 2020 in WI, PA, GA and AZ then look out. Counting for days. Big swings. Stopping the counting.
