Sounds like the PSUV is a lot like the Democrat Party here in the U.S.

 

Experts fear Venezuela's Maduro could steal Sunday's election as opposition leads in polls

 

PSUV led a coalition that holds 256 of the 277 seats in the country’s National Assembly, and has control over Supreme Tribunal of Justice courts and the National Electoral Council. The opposition could never unite behind a single candidate, and parties boycotted the 2018 election because of accusations that free and fair elections were not possible under Maduro’s government. 
 

Humire on social media platform X posted polling data that showed expected results based on low or high levels of expected voter participation, in both cases showing Maduro getting around half as many votes as Gonzalez would get.

This is what Democrats and Communists do.

And even if they lose, they won't let the opposition take power.

Our future in November?  Read about Maduro's dirty tricks, and consider who those tactics remind us of.

Venezuela:  Electoral fraud, right in their faces

An old truism in politics is that if the win is big enough, the other guy can't steal it.

 

Venezuela's latest election just put paid to that nonsense.  Any filthy tyrant, especially a socialist with a lot to hide and a will to entrench himself in permanent power, can steal an election ... right in front of his voters' faces.

And in the case of Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, be perfectly confident that he'll always get away with it.  The opposition will be told to accept the result and go prepare for the next election six years from now. The West will wring its hands a bit, and just go along.  Venezuelans have seen this movie before.

 

Which is why Joe Biden's decision to drop sanctions on Venezuela in exchange for "free and fair elections" was such a disgusting deal, empowering the Maduroites to steal themselves another election, and enjoy the newly freed-up money, which included buying guns to fire into crowds, and then taking out the opposition afterwards through lawfare.  That's what Maduro is doing now.

Quite a steal for Maduro, and in more ways than one.  [...]

Americans Thankful That Socialists Rigging Elections Only Happens In Venezuela

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro's use of military force to maintain political power after an election in which the opposition seemed to have won by more than 30 percentage points, Americans across the United States have expressed their extreme relief that socialists rigging elections is a phenomenon confined to Venezuela.

According to numerous US citizens, socialists cheating in elections and undercutting the will of the people is an "unimaginable abomination."  Over 98% of Americans polled say they are "incredibly grateful" that it could never happen in America.  [...]

It appears Maduro is doing everything to stay in power.

 

Maduro manoeuvring to stay in power in Venezuela
 

But instead of making the tallies public, he took the unusual step of filing a "writ of amparo" - a legal move normally used by citizens who think their constitutional rights have been violated. 
 

He asked the top court to audit the voting tallies with a view to confirming the results provided by the CNE which handed him another six-year term in power.

The court is in his pocket.

Optimal would be to get him to accept, ensure that he and his thugs are disarmed, put them in a closed arena with tens of thousands of those who escaped him, and let karma take its course.

REPORT:  US Offering Maduro and His Henchmen Amnesty If He Cedes Power

 

As we've reported, Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro declared he won the presidential election in July despite mountains of evidence that he actually received fewer votes than opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia.  Now, according to the Wall Street Journal, the Biden administration is offering Maduro and his top henchmen amnesty and an end to the DOJ's investigations into their dealings if he will give up power before his term ends in January.  [...]

it’s sickening to think that the U.S. would even consider descending to the level of Russia, China, North Korea , Iran, et al, and letting this animal escape without consequences. I guess the Green New Deal isn’t as important as getting Venezuela’s oil back into the open market as soon as possible. 😒

I know of many dozens of Venezolanos who dream of what they'd do to him, if only they could.

Maduro's Communist Thugs Help Him Bully His Way to Power

 

A member of Venezuela's electoral council admitted in an interview published today that he has seen no evidence that Nicolas Maduro won the country's election as he claims.

 

The sad part of this story is that it probably doesn't matter.  Maduro is bullying his way back into office through a combination of lies and threats.  Hundreds of people have been visited by his security forces in something he has dubbed "Operation Knock Knock."  [...]

Christmas cometh early this year in Venezuela.

 

Venezuelan dictator deploys bizarre distraction as country remains in turmoil after election

 

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has announced his plan to move Christmas to October in a bid to distract the public from ongoing political turmoil following the disputed presidential election.

 

"It’s more evidence that he is desperate to distract people from the fraud he committed on Election Day and the horrible repression we’ve seen in the month since," Daniel Acosta Rivas, an OSINT analyst from Venezuela, told Fox News Digital. 

 

"It’s not enough that he oppresses us, he also has to mock us," Rivas said. "Just like he can declare himself winner of the election without evidence, on a whim he can decree that Jesus was born on Oct. 1 and that’s when we should celebrate. He is desperate, or he is mocking us – or both."

Venezuela is an America First Priority

After four years of the Biden/Harris administration's feeble foreign policy, the redefining of the United States' redlines should begin in our own backyard: Latin America and the Caribbean.  After all, the value of renovating one's house is limited if the neighborhood is in shambles.

 

To create a healthy neighborhood, it helps if neighbors share similar values, such as democracy, fair elections, and civil liberties.  Fortunately, many of America's neighboring nations do.

But there is one country whose owner is ruining the neighborhood, even though its people do value those ideals:  Venezuela. [...]

If DJT wins re-election, I would expect to see Maduro depart within a year, as economic sanctions and pressure over the election results crush his ability to govern.
