The opposition, which had warned of the potential for fraud, was expected to challenge the result.

Exit polling released after voting centers began to close Sunday evening showed opposition candidate Edmundo González taking 65 percent of the vote, more than doubling Maduro’s 31 percent, Edison Research reported. Venezuelans were waiting for official results.

    Quote from María Corina Machado (opposition leader kept off ballot) per CNN:

    We definitely need to open markets in order to take advantage of that huge potential and turn Venezuela into truly the energy hub of the Americas.

    How the how the country will benefit from that? We will have fiscal flows, and other resources, mechanisms through which the state will get taxes.

    She seems to like money.
