Internet snarl delays vote count in Venezuelan opposition's primary to choose presidential candidate

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Maduro's government has in the past bent the law, retaliated against opponents and breached agreements as it sees fit.
46% : But the independent commission that oversaw the primary opted to use homes, churches, private schools and other facilities as voting stations after the country's electoral authorities did not respond to requests for help in a timely manner.
40% : Ebullient Venezuelans on Sunday chose the candidate they think can end the decade-long, crisis-ridden presidency of Nicolás Maduro, lining up under a scorching sun and torrential rain to cast ballots in a primary election that the opposition independently organized despite government repression.
39% : That includes subjecting some politicians and other opponents to detention, surveillance, threats, defamatory campaigns and arbitrary criminal proceedings.
