E-voting firm says, Venezuela 🇻🇪 turnout figures 'manipulated'

The firm that provided Venezuela's 🇻🇪 election technology, cast doubt ❓ on the outcome of its polls for a new assembly, saying the turnout figures were "manipulated"‼️

Government-allied electoral authorities say more than 8️ million people voted on July 30, a turnout figure that has been disputed by the opposition and independent analysts and condemned 🚫 by many nations in the region and beyond. 🌍

Tareck El Aissami, Venezuela's 🇻🇪 vice president, said the election results were reviewed and the 545 assembly members would take the reins of the nation's government "within hours".

The US 🇺🇸 earlier this week hit Maduro with sanctions, and diplomats from the 28 EU countries 🌍 were meeting with Federica Mogherini, EU foreign affairs chief, in Brussels🇧🇪 to discuss the bloc's course of action.
