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.

    All the more reasons america would want to manipulate the elections. If they stop their sanctions socialism could actually work and they cannot allow that.

      Ocamm’s razor.

      If they didn’t want to lift sanctions, they would just not lift them. If they did lift them, it’s because the US actually wanted fair elections. There’s not more to it.
