The stakes have grown higher for Venezuela’s electoral authority to show proof backing its decision to declare President Nicolás Maduro the winner of the country’s presidential election after the United States recognized opposition candidate Edmundo González as the victor, discrediting the official
The NLG (a group of based anti-imperialist lawyers in the US) sent observers for this one, and here are their findings.
What WERE their findings though? I read that link and 80% of it was talking about the “history of Venezuela’s elections”
Only relevant bit was 5 people went to a few poling stations each and they didn’t see anything odd and people seemed to be happy to vote. I didn’t see them claim to have done anything that could be considered proving the elections were fair one way or another, other than no obvious fraud at the polling stations themselves.
It seems that their findings are that the election appeared fair and the official results appeared accurate. The second paragraph has the official results, and then the rest of it describes solid electoral processes to back that up.
I feel like I need to know more about this group before deciding on the accuracy of their opinion.
