Venezuela's top court: Opposition failed to submit proof in election dispute

11/8/2024 7:21

        Venezuela's supreme court said Saturday that it had not received evidence from the opposition coalition in the disputed July 28 presidential elections and warned that its decision in determining the winner would be final.
        
        The South American nation's elections authority, which the opposition claims is loyal to President Nicolas Maduro, declared the leader had won reelection, while the opposition argues its candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, won.
        
        The electoral authority has not released a detailed vote count from the elections and its website has been down since the early hours of July 29.
        The opposition has posted its ballot count online, which shows Gonzalez receiving double the number of votes as Maduro.
        
        In Venezuela, voting machines print out three copies of voting records for the electoral authority, the ruling party and its challenger.
