Socialist Dictator Of Venezula Lashes Out At Election Fraud Claims

The ‘democratic socialist’ and president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro has lashed out at claims of electoral fraud by the company that administers Venezuela’s voting system. Maduro is accusing the company of succumbing to pressure from ‘the Gringos and the Brits’ to sabotage his controversial and dictatorial new assembly.
‘That stupid guy, the president of Smartmatic, pressured to the neck by the gringos and the Brits, said there were 7.5 million [voters],’ Mr. Maduro said. ‘I think there were 10 million Venezuelans who went out.’ Antonio Mujica, the chief executive of Smartmatic, the Venezuelan multinational has operated the country’s votes since 2004. Mujica said on Wednesday that the count produced by the electronic system was at least a million votes short of that announced by the election commission.
The widespread doubts over election turnouts and results in Venezuela make no difference to dictator Maduro though. He intends to go forward with the installation of the constituent assembly, which has been denounced around the world as a naked attempt to cement his power.
Maduro also claimed that about 2 million Venezuelan’s were prevented from voting because of opposition protests.
