Can Nicolás Maduro be stopped from stealing Venezuela’s election?

By every measure except the regime’s, the vote was won soundly by Edmundo González. He is an avuncular former diplomat around whom the opposition coalesced after Mr Maduro barred the most impressive opposition leader, María Corina Machado, from running. Exit polls and parallel counts from swathes of separate polling stations all show Mr González winning, with more than 65% of the vote. Yet after a suspicious delay, the electoral authority, run by regime lackeys, announced that victory belonged narrowly to Mr Maduro.
