Venezuela's Supreme Court ratifies Maduro's election win
VENEZUELA’S Supreme Court ratified on Thursday President Nicolas Maduro’s presidential election victory.
The court also confirmed that the voting tallies published online showing he lost the July 28 election by a landslide were forged.
Its decision, read at an event attended by senior officials and foreign diplomats, came in response to a request by President Maduro to review vote totals showing he had won by more than one million votes.
