Venezuela Election Observers Report Back

Hear from observers of the Venezuelan elections what really happened.

The people of Venezuela voted to re-elect their president, Nicolas Maduro on July 28. This, despite the interference and harsh sanctions imposed by the US to try and defeat President Maduro and put an end to the Bolivarian Revolution.

With no proof whatsoever, the US claims that the elections were not fair, but the electoral process in the US pales in comparison to that of Venezuela. In Venezuela the National Electoral Council is actually elected and insures that people, even in the poorest sections of society, have the opportunity to register and vote. Ballots are cast electronically, and a backup paper ballot is also cast. All parties can observe the counting of the ballots, and any party can call for a recount.
