Venezuelans were quick to express their dissatisfaction with their presidential election in late July 2024 after the National Election Council declared Nicola Maduro the winner, despite him being a socialist dictator, Million Voices reported.
“First, the government blocked opposition leader Maria Corina Machado from even running in the election. Next, they intimidated poll-goers with threats of armed violence. Then they claimed Maduro had beaten opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez by seven points, 51% to 44%, without producing the evidence,” wrote the Washington Stand’s Joshua Arnold.

Polling data taken from across the country found Gonzales won anywhere from 60 to 80% of the vote at a majority of precincts, with Maduro barely scraping 31%. The consistency across the polls was described as “remarkably consistent.”
Maduro Steals Election
Venezuelan Ana Leca, who is exiled from her home country, wrote that her nation is “ruled by a despotic regime so afraid of losing its grip on power that it oppresses, imprisons, and tortures those who dare speak out.” (TAKE A POLL: Are You Concerned About Political Corruption?)
“Currently there are around 300 political prisoners, all subjects of psychological and/or of physical torture. The regime monitors and tracks their family, friends, and associates,” she claimed, adding that the Maduro regime maintains “the largest torture center in the Americas.”
