Polls were supposed to have closed 4 hrs ago.

1. The opposition is claiming victory.

2. An awful lot of silence from the Chavista big-heads

Even Piedad Cordoba, the Colombian FARC sympathizer and big ally of Chavismo, tweeted "Independently from the end results, who won today was the vigorous and participative venezuelan democracy!," whatever that means.

So far there is definitely more celebration coming from the opposition than Chavismo.

3. I assume the opposition is why they have not released results yet

I wonder if Maduro resigns.

4. "Best electoral system in the world" MY ASS!

It's already Dec. 7 and they still haven't given out any official numbers. When the Argentina elections were happening, they were already showing results around 8pm. The CNE is REALLY hesitant to concede victory to the opposition (which should be a 2/3 majority, by the way, with 113 seats)

5. They're reporting on social media how the PSUV victory stage is being dismantled

6. An image of the main stage for the Bolivar-Chavez Campaign command

Looks like they're accepting defeat at this point.

7. The CNE members are finally announcing it at 00:23 hours. "Best electoral system" n/t

[Marksman_91]

8. First official bulletin gives MUD 99 seats and PSUV 42. There are still some more to count

But at least the MUD has at least a 3/5 majority for sure now, and Could potentially reach 2/3. Chavismo is finally dying

9. thanks, sounds like they did well nt

10. Indeed. All signs point towards the MUD gaining at least 110 seats, which gives a 2/3 majority

With that majority, they have the authority to legislate many things. Looks like Maduro and his band of delinquents have nobody to blame but themselves for this. They're the ones who have ruined Venezuela, and have insulted us numerous times with their violent and divisive language. But as always, when people's stomachs are at stake, they tend to rebel against those in power. I'm just glad they're realizing that their woes are due to the PSUV's incompetence and corruption. This might just be a new dawn for Venezuela. I think I might just go out now and celebrate with a beer or two
