"It is essential that every vote be counted in a fair and transparent manner, that election officials share the information immediately with the opposition and independent observers without delay, and that the electoral authorities publish the records."

Concluding his statement, Blinken warned Maduro that "the international community is following this very closely and will respond accordingly."
