The Carter Center was invited by the National Electoral Council (CNE) to monitor the disputed elections. Nicolas Maduro He announced his re-election for a third six-year term.

The National Electoral Council has not published detailed results and claims the delay is due to a hack, while Maduro denounces a “cyber-fascist coup.”

“Companies monitor and know when there is a denial of service (vests) and there were no denials that night.Lincoln explained this Wednesday in an interview from Atlanta, USA.Voting data is transmitted via telephone line and satellite phone, not via computer. They do not lose data.“

Lincoln noted that the CNE president, Elvis Amoruso“He will publish the results table by table on the website and give a CD to political parties,” he said when he announced the first bulletin.

“It's a promise that was never kept.“The organization’s advisor for Latin America and the Caribbean noted.

“Although the playing field was highly uneven, the Venezuelan people went to vote.He continued, referring to the elections. “The major irregularity on election day was the lack of transparency by the National Electoral Commission and the blatant failure to adhere to the rules of the game in terms of showing the true vote of the people.”

Lincoln explained that the Carter Center has “Number analysisAvailable with other organizations and universities andEdmundo Gonzalez Urrutia confirms victory with over 60%“Of the sounds.

The opposition published on one of its websites copies of more than 80% of the minutes, which it claimed proved that González Urrutia, representing leader Maria Corina Machado, won 67% of the vote. The National Electoral Council gave him 43%, compared to 52% for Maduro.

Chavismo denies the authenticity of these documents and asserts that they are forged.

“It's pure theater.“,” said Lincoln, who preferred not to comment on contacts with the CNE or regime authorities since the Carter Center assessed in a public statement that the elections “did not meet international standards and criteria for electoral integrity” and could not be “considered democratic.”

The statement was published when the monitoring mission was already outside the country.

Maduro, who has been in power since 2013, asked the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) to “AuthenticationElections, and said he was willing to provide 100% of the minutes if requested.

“The government had 11 or 12 days…a very long time to show the real data of the minutes it received on election night.Lincoln pointed out.

The legal process is considered unacceptable by experts and the opposition, who also distrust the Supreme Court of Justice and the National Electoral Council because they consider them to be in favor of Chavismo. Amoroso says he has submitted the investigation report to the court.

The elections were questioned by the United States, the European Union and many Latin American countries.

Colombia, Brazil and Mexico, which are promoting a coexistence agreement between the parties, have proposed an “impartial verification of the results”.

Lincoln believes it is premature to comment on the Carter Center’s willingness to participate in the audit at this level. “I am incredulous, and skeptical about what the international verification team can do that the witnesses, who provided the actual nightly reports, did not do,” he added.
