Concern grows as Venezuela blocks election observers
Socialist Maduro, 61, will seek reelection Sunday to a third six-year term amid accusations of opposition harassment
Socialist Maduro, 61, will seek reelection Sunday to a third six-year term amid accusations of opposition harassment by an increasingly authoritarian regime.

Yes, I'd like to hear from less USA/Western (USA bootlickers)-centric sources, myself. If this is true, winning by cheating isn't a win, and may prove to have unfortunate consequences. Of course, socialist or Communist winning anything may also have unfortunate consequences, especially when we (USA) send in the jackals.
It's from the AFP newswire.
It's difficult to imagine a more credible source.
Yes, the French are well-known for being "USA bootlickers."
