announcement is official although it is from an Assistant Secretary of State. FWIW, there was voter ID required and no vote harvesting and minimal absentee voting[MSN] The top U.S diplomat for Latin America said opposition candidate Edmundo González won Venezuela's presidential elections and beat strongman Nicolas Maduro by millions of votes, signaling that the Biden administration is getting ready to officially recognize González as the country's president-elect. Given the overwhelming evidence obtained by documented proof of millions of votes cast, Maduro and his representatives should recognize Edmundo González as the winner of the July 28 presidential election," Brian Nichols, the assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere, said during an emergency meeting of the Organization of the Americas States on Wednesday to discuss the results of the Venezuelan election "Given the clear evidence, the world’s governments should also acknowledge Edmundo González’s overwhelming electoral victory," he said. "Those that fail to do so are only enabling Maduro and his representatives to attempt a massive fraud and disregard for the rule of law and democratic principles."
