People react to Venezuela's election results

The ruling socialist party in Venezuela has been declared the winner of last week's election.  The PSUV won 17/23 of the governorships there, and the voter turnout was 61%. President Nicolas Maduro believes that he won the election fair and square, but he ordered there to be a full audit believing that his party may even win some more chairs. The opposition believes that there were fraudulent acts in this election, especially because how Maduro has handled the humanitarian crisis for the past few months. The PSUV has stronger support in poorer regions of Venezuela, where the opposition needs to work on to grow more support.
