The real coup
Disenfranchising ~ 21% of the Venezuelan electorate
HRF (nprofile…t5ph)
"The regime also severely restricted the voting rights of the more than seven million Venezuelans living in exile and made their participation impossible. Out of the more than 6.5 million Venezuelans that would be eligible to vote, only 69.000 were registered. Two days before the election, the regime suddenly shut down its border with Colombia, where three million Venezuelan refugees reside, to stop them from returning to cast their votes at home."
