Little of the electoral fraud in Venezuela
In order to understand a little of the electoral fraud in Venezuela, we must know the context surrounding the Venezuelan election.
The first thing we must explain is that, in Venezuela, the highest electoral body uses an automated system in most of the process.
Last July 28, the leaders who oppose Nicolás Maduro, current president, chanted electoral fraud in Venezuela.
The opposition leader María Corina Machado, won in primaries, but was disqualified, and the next one she succeeded, was not accepted either; in the middle of all this, in a negotiated process, the figure of Edmundo González Urrutia appeared, the government did not put “but” to this figure.
There were many obstacles, arrests of opposition campaign chiefs, persecution throughout the country; while María Corina Machado, who is the heart and soul, could not travel by plane.
The electoral reports followed one after the other, in cascade.
All of them showed a similar, overwhelming and expected result: Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia swept the polls and was to be anointed as the new president according to the Venezuelan will.
The advantage was, in each registered case, greater than 30 percentage points and identical to what the independent “mouths” of the ballot box dictated.
But the dictatorship personified by Nicolás Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, brothers Jorge and Delcy Rodríguez, Tarek William Saab and Vladimir Padrino López had other plans to achieve electoral fraud in Venezuela.

Electoral fraud in Venezuela
The electoral fraud in Venezuela began with the installation of the polling stations, 72 hours, which must be done with the presence of witnesses; in many centers the presence of opposition representation was prevented.
Meanwhile, on the side of the Psuv, they arrived in the early hours of the morning, and up to now, the reason is unknown.
On the day of the election, pressure was applied, witnesses of Edmundo Gonzalez were removed, in other centers people with false credentials appeared, but, in addition, in many cases, the National Armed Forces kept silent.
At the time of delivery of the results, after the closing of the voting centers, the delivery must be made, but each witness must receive a printout of the results; there began the struggle.
For in less than 24 hours, the opposition had to collect the largest number of tally sheets from the voting tables.
The electoral fraud in Venezuela was established when Elvis Amoroso, CNE president, gave a result with 80% of the tallies counted.
The trap was evident; but this Monday, the opposition command revealed that they were able to obtain 73.20% of the tally sheets; the number was abysmal, and apparently, Edmundo Gonzalez was elected by the great majority of the people.
