Quoting something that AP says without substantiation is not actually a good citation. It's not like Maduro appointed the judges.
I'll quote them again for you:
The high court’s ruling certifying the results contradicts the findings of experts from the United Nations and the Carter Center who were invited to observe the election and which both determined the results announced by authorities lacked credibility.
Just becuse Maduro is a socialist doesn't mean he's not a piece of shit who lost the election. Dictator's play both sides of the political spectrum.
Would take a piece of shit that serves the people over a piece of shit that would loot, plunder, and sell national assets to capitalists 100/100 times.
He has shat the bed for his country and the people are paying the price. Maybe let the people decide the leader of their country?
That seems to be what they're figuring out. The right wing candidate didn't even submit their voting tallies to the Supreme Court or participate in any of the investigations while everyone else did (including other anti-Maduro candidates). What are they supposed to use to determine popular will? Screenshot of papers printed in Machado's basement?
I wouldn't be surprised if some shenanigans happened until they publish their results by polling location, but until then all we have to go on is uncooperative opposition and US-based think tanks (the country that's tried to coup Venezuela basically every other year since Chavez).
US sanctions fucked over the country, so unless you think "being disliked by the US" is a grave sin, this isn't an accurate framing
