Last summer the regime of socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro announced that leading opposition candidate Maria Corina Machado was ineligible to run for office. The country hadn't held an election in five years at that point but Machado was expected to be the leading candidate if the current government agreed to hold an election.
The opposition held a primary to decide who would face off with Maduro and, as expected, Machado won despite the government sending out its colectivo thugs on motorbikes to harass opposition voters.

Joe Biden won a rigged election in 2020 and are working hard to make 2024 worse. No proof of citizien, no voter ID, no cleansing the registration rolls, no in person voting, unrequested ballots mailed out, and crooked election centers.
