The escalating fight over Venezuela's future
It has been one week since Venezuela\u2019s presidential election. Both sides have claimed victory \u2013 but a review of the tallies collected by the opposition paints a different picture.
In the hours and days after the election, independent observers and world leaders called on President Nicol\xe1s Maduro to publish the voting records and corroborate his claims of winning. Meanwhile, the opposition, led by Edmundo Gonz\xe1lez and Mar\xeda Corina Machado, has collected thousands of receipts \u2013 printed voting tallies \u2013 that point to what could be the largest electoral fraud Venezuela has ever seen.
Host Martine Powers speaks with Bogot\xe1 bureau chief Samantha Schmidt about the fallout of the election and how The Post analyzed these voting tallies to determine what happened in the election.
