At least twice we've written about the election in Venezuela, won by the opposition. We've consistently expressed concern that the Chavistas in power wouldn't accept the negative verdict of the voters.
Fox News Latino reports Chavistas are trying to get the election of several opposition legislators overturned, enough to keep the opposition from having a veto-proof supermajority. The left's commitment to constitutional processes and representative government - worldwide - has always been less-than-total.
This election challenge is important because President Maduro, a Chavez protege, continues in office. As we have seen with Obama, an opposition party president can stymie an elected majority's initiatives (when the majority is insufficient to override vetoes) and engage in much unconstitutional mischief by executive fiat.
