Venezuela Election Results - Hypocrite Blinken

From CBS News:
Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner in Venezuela's presidential election Sunday, even as his opponents were disputing the results, setting up a high-stakes showdown that will determine whether the South American nation transitions away from one party rule.

Shortly after midnight, the National Electoral Council said Maduro secured 51% of the vote, overcoming opposition candidate Edmundo González, who garnered 44%. It said the results were based on a tally of 80% of voting stations, marking an irreversible trend.

But the electoral authority, which is controlled by Maduro loyalists, didn't immediately release the official tallies from each of the 15,797 voting centers nationwide, hampering the opposition's ability to challenge the results after claiming it had the voting acts for only 30% of the ballot boxes.

The delay in announcing results - six hours after polls were supposed to close - indicated a deep debate inside the government about how to proceed after Maduro's opponents came out early in the evening all but claiming victory.

..."We want to say to all of Venezuela and the world that Venezuela has a new president-elect and it is (candidate) Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia," Machado told journalists, adding: "We won."

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said Monday the U.S. has "serious concerns the vote does not reflect the will of the people. The international community is watching."

Earlier Monday, in a statement issued just before results were announced, Blinken had called for votes to be counted "fairly and transparently. ... We call for the electoral authorities to publish the detailed tabulation of votes ('actas') to ensure transparency and accountability."
Antony Blinken declares that the votes in Venezuela need to be counted "fairly and transparently."

Of course, when it comes to the 2020 U.S. election, Blinken worked to undermine fairness and transparency. Blinken plotted to claim Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. He played a key role in running election interference in the U.S.

Many Americans rightly have "serious concerns" that our elections don't reflect the will of the people.

As far as the election in Venezuela goes, is the plan to flood the U.S. with Venezuelans?
