Rubio, Durbin, Cassidy, Welch, Shaheen, Scott on Venezuela’s Presidential Election Results
On Sunday, the people of Venezuela voted in an election that was dubious from the start and was neither free nor fair.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Peter Welch (D-VT), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Rick Scott (R-FL) released a joint statement regarding the results of Sunday’s sham presidential election in Venezuela:
- “The meticulously compiled and transparent release of more than 80 percent of all Venezuelan election results by credible election monitors confirms pre-election and exit polling, as well as the obvious—Edmundo González won Sunday’s election by a fair and commanding margin. The fact that the Maduro regime cowardly refused to immediately release any such data is telling of the outrageous and blatant attempt to steal yet another Venezuelan election and a better future for the Venezuelan people. This cannot stand.
- “The region’s democracies must stand firm and insist on respect for the Venezuelan voter and a democratic transfer of power as overwhelmingly indicated by the election results.”
