The US secretary of state insists Venezuelans' votes in the recent presidential election "must count".

…

His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.

…

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

      Yeah I don’t find that particularly palatable, but it’s still up to the people of Venezuela to decide who they want to lead them. This election result is a sham as far as it looks right now.

        It might be a sham. There’s not enough reliable information to determine thus far. But that hasn’t stopped foreign governments and media from muddying the waters. The people of Venezuela should decide who leads them, not outside agitators.
