Friend @ kafkanarchy84 your post applies perfectly to the case of Venezuela, where the government proclaims to the four winds that it has won around 20 elections.
But when you go to a vitiated electoral process from the same entity that governs the process (pro-government in its majority) you know that you will not get well rid. That together with the disqualifications of opposition candidates, the unconscionable change of the election site of voters, the lack of international witnesses and could continue and continue.
In May we will have presidential elections and we are facing a new re-election of Nicolas Maduro. God keep us. Greetings from Venezuela
