The U.S. government has announced that it is recognizing opposition candidate Edmundo González as the winner of Venezuelan’s presidential election, despite the country’s electoral authority giving the victory to President Nicolás Maduro.
It turns out that when you claim an electoral victory and rebuff everyone's requests for actual proof of said victory, people tend to doubt you. How shocking! Clearly this is the result of Yankee Imperialism(tm)
I'm saying if someone claims Satan, Godzilla, or Superman exists, refusing to provide proof is a great way to get dismissed and the opposite concluded.
Generally, nations keep tallies of their citizens' names via things like birth records or naturalization papers, along with some sort of way to identify the person who is voting matches their name, so I'm guessing it's pretty easy to prove that Godzilla didn't vote legally whether or not it existed.
