Venezuelan law allows members of the opposition to have access to raw voting tallies. During the first part of the day, the reported tallies looked good for the opposition, they were headed for a landslide. However, later in the day, the election officials stopped updating the tallies. Then, later that night, the election officials announced that Maduro had an insurmountable lead. Maduro claimed victory, which contributed to protests occurring.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From BBC:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Meanwhile, US senior administration officials said that the announced result &#8220;does not track with data that we&#8217;ve received through quick count mechanisms and other sources, which suggests that the result that was announced may be at odds with how people voted&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>That was &#8220;the principal source of our concern&#8221;, they added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is why we are asking the Venezuelan electoral authorities to release the underlying data that supports the numbers that they have publicly announced.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the US has not yet been drawn on what the result means for their sanctions policy towards Venezuela. Officials have emphasised that while they have doubts about the result, President Maduro did call an election and allow an opposition candidate to be on the ballot paper &#8211; even if the opposition leader was banned from running.<\/p>\n<p>The Organization of American States (OAS) announced late on Monday it will hold a meeting on Wednesday of its permanent council over the Venezuelan results.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wells, I.
