His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

      There’s no way to independently verify that the opposition’s source data is accurate. It doesn’t mean much until we can see the official data to see if it can explain the discrepancies. If there’s no competing data released within the next couple days then we can take it at face value, and I’ll 100% accept it, but until then, I’d at least give them as much time as I gave Biden. That seems fair. Especially if they’re worried about hacks and opposition messing with the election data (and it’s not like the US doesn’t have a history of messing with elections so it’s not completely unbelievable despite everyone’s incredulity here).

        Their data matches independent exit polls, the government’s data doesn’t.

          Those exit polls were done by a US research agency that’s worked with US government projects before.
