| 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."

| #6 'Minimal absentee voting' possibly due to the apparent restrictions with their online registration where only about 65,000 out of over 2 Million overseas voters were actually able to register. |

| #5 Gotta admit I'm surprised they'd actually admit there's such a thing as election fraud, much less accuse a fellow traveler of such. |

| #2 [Bee] Americans Thankful That Socialists Rigging Elections Only Happens In Venezuela 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. "Oh, yeah, it's absolutely tragic what's going on down there," said Steve McGannon, an American citizen. "I'm so glad we live in a country where socialists would never dare to steal elections. I mean, imagine if one of our political parties were to harvest ballots, insist on non-citizens voting, use underhanded methods to secure an election, and brand anyone questioning voting integrity an "extremist conspiracy theorist," all in the name of safe and secure elections. I'm so glad that sort of thing only happens in countries like Venezuela — could never be the US, am I right?" Republican leaders across the country have taken a strong stance on the matter by issuing extremely strongly worded tweets, and then going off to play golf at the country club. When asked for comment, several prominent Democrats blushed coyly and assured the American people that they would never do such a thing. At publishing time, Americans had started giving thanks that graphically inappropriate displays of public nudity only happened in godless places like Paris. |

| #1 Sec. Blinken released a statement after the one by the Assistant Secretary. Nothing from Biden or Harris yet. Maybe waiting to make a joint statement with other countries. |
