No results from the latest fascist attempt to seize power in Venezuela yet?

Oh, look, the far-right is trying to suppress the vote by the people as always:

Polls were expected to begin closing at 6 p.m., but two hours later Venezuela’s opposition is calling on authorities to close the polls and begin counting ballots. By law, polling centers can remain open if there are voters still in line.

They are desperate to overturn the Revolution:

Former legislator Delsa Solórzano, representative of the opposition’s Unitary Platform coalition backing candidate Edmundo González, denounced electoral authorities hours after polls had been scheduled to close.

“There is an important number of voting centers where they are removing our witnesses,” she said. There are others where she said, “they refuse to transmit and print the tallies produced by the voting machines, whose copies are essential to verify that the results correspond with the official results.”

Four hours after the closing time of polling stations expired, electoral authorities have still not officially closed voting.

“At this moment, the National Electoral Council has paralyzed the transmission of the voting tallies,” Solórzano said. Without showing evidence, she said “they are blocking the transmission to prevent a greater number of voting tallies.”

“With the tallies that we have, which are quite numerous,” said Solórzano, “we can say what is happening in the country.”

“We have demonstrated that we are capable of defending the will of the people,” added Solórzano. She affirmed that they will not share percentages. “We are not going to violate the law.”

Why did the AP publish the first story that says "two hours after" an hour after this story saying "four hours after" and which actually matches the time it was published? AP simping for the far-right just like the NYT and Pink News.
