Political analysts and electoral experts, among them Jennifer McCoy of the Carter Center, say the crisis could be defused with an extensive review of the automated voting system to address concerns raised by the opposition.

“The concerns are not about the machines and whether they counted accurately,” said McCoy, who is the Americas director at the center and has observed six elections here. “The questions are much more about who voted. Was there double voting? Was there impersonation of voters? And was there coerced voting?”



The bottom line is this--Maduro has the job. The question is, can he keep it? And I don't think his biggest concerns are anyone from the opposition party, either. He should perhaps look a bit closer to home, within his own party--and hire a food taster.
