A statement made by the opposition powerhouse Maria Corina Machado has shaken up Venezuela following the recent presidential election. Machado announced that her coalition had gathered more than two-thirds of vote tally sheets from polling centers nationwide, indicating that President Nicolás Maduro had lost his reelection bid.
The tally sheets, known as actas, are considered crucial evidence of election results in Venezuela. Opposition members worked tirelessly to collect as many of these sheets as possible to challenge the expected announcement by electoral authorities.
