U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela’s hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.

Speaking in Tokyo on Monday shortly after the announcement was made, Blinken said the U.S. was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people. He called for election officials to publish the full results transparently and immediately and said the U.S. and the international community would respond accordingly.

    If the American government wants me to doubt the integrity of their election they should have kept their mouths shut and let the evidence speak for itself.

    We know they were suppressing the opposition, and by definition that means the election wasn’t free and fair. You want to do anything else? Find some proof and publish that.
