Venezuela's opposition has secured over 80% of crucial vote tally sheets, casting significant doubt on the government's declared election results. An Associated Press review of the opposition-provided vote tallies suggests that their candidate, Edmundo González, received significantly more votes in Sunday’s election than the government claims. This analysis raises questions about the official declaration of Nicolás Maduro's victory. The opposition's ability to gather and present these tally sheets, which represent more than two-thirds of the polling centers nationwide, highlights potential discrepancies in the election process.
