Mathematically, it looks like the people who rigged the election in Venezuela were so lazy, or ignorant, that they chose 51.2% as the margin of victory for Maduro, and then back into the vote tally to support it.

The election IS a sham and Maduro is a shitty president. However the main opposition candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, is a US favored interest working alongside the likes of María Corina Machado and Juan Guaidó. Which is probably the only reason this election is as big a deal for the US as it currently is.
Swamp creatures like Elliott Abrams and John Bolton have been trying to get at Venezuela for some time and expand western interests through their surrogates. This could be their chance. I didn't think Elon Musk would be on board with them too, but here we are.
The only real losers here are the Venezuelan people.
Annnmd the US just recognized Gonzalez as the rightfully elected president of Venezuela
They did the same thing with Juan Guaidó last election
