Miami Herald- Guyana Electoral Mess
In reply to Dan_De_Lyan
Claudette Singh is the most powerful person in Guyana right now. She will decide who is the next president.
As for the statements by Pompeo and the letter from Rubio, watch what they do not what they say. Some people have a habit of only paying lip service to the concept of democracy. The recent elections in Nicaragua are a good example.

they are grasping on straws.
Dead voting
paid voters
foreign voters.
They are holding US citizens hostage
US invading as the have massive investments there.
Trump wont get my vote but will say thanks

I doubt that even if true notion of dead people voting and people who migrated voting would be sufficient to overcome whatever deficit will be in place after the counting is finished. I suspect that APNU will attempt to forge another election by claiming that the last one was too tainted by corruption and fraud. Claudette Singh is the person who will make that decision.
As for your apparent faith in Donald Trump and his minions, I will leave you with this from a NYT article: Everyone who gives him the benefit of the doubt eventually regrets it.
Looks like only one way out now for Guyana - pull an Afghanistan.

Screw that idea. All that is saying to the rule of law: No consequence for your action. I would rather go down guns blazing

I said Nicaragua elections by mistake. I meant the Honduras elections in 2017. The ruling government stole the election and the Trump administration did not sanction them. Trump is only interested in democracy when it suits him
An opposition supporter holds up the Constitution of the Republic of Honduras during a protest over a contested presidential election with allegations of electoral fraud in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, December 22, 2017.
The Honduran electoral tribunal declared Hernandez winner of the Nov. 26 election last weekend amid strident opposition protests over the vote count in the impoverished Central American country, which is a major hub for drug trafficking.
The vote tally had initially clearly favored opposition candidate Salvador Nasralla, a center-leftist, but it swung in favor of the incumbent after a 36-hour delay.
After the United States weighed in, Nasralla was pessimistic about his chances of winning support in Honduras, claiming in an interview with Reuters that the nations supreme court and electoral tribunal are in Hernandezs camp.
But he maintained that he had a path to victory at the international level, noting the Organization of American States (OAS) had called for new elections to resolve the dispute.
Nationally, we think its a lost cause, he told Reuters. But internationally, we are confident that the OAS, which understands the great fraud in Honduras, will take action so that they repeat the elections.
Earlier in the day, Nasralla appeared all but ready to bow out of the race, saying in an interview with TV network France TV that his political career was over.
The situation is practically decided, he told the network. I no longer have anything to do in politics, but the people, which are 80 percent in my favor, will continue the fight.
The United States followed Mexico and other Latin American countries in supporting Hernandez, who has been a reliable U.S. ally.
The U.S. State Department congratulated Hernandez and said Honduras should pursue a long-term effort to heal the political divide in the country and enact much-needed electoral reforms, spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement.
The Honduras election tribunals declaration in Hernandezs favor last week sparked violent protests in Honduras, and the OASs call for new elections has been rejected by the Honduran government.
Why would anyone think the majority of Guyanese will accept and live under a dictatorship regardless of what the international nations say or do boggles my mind. The opposition party clearly said they will not accept and will swear in their own president. Gecom has to get it right, it is imperative.
