Maduro opponents revive protests disputing Venezuelan election results

Opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro took to the streets on Wednesday in an attempt to revive protests against him as he tightens his grip on power following last month's disputed election.
 
The demonstration in the capital comes exactly a month after the July 28 vote in which Maduro was declared the winner despite strong evidence that opposition candidate Edmundo González won by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. The election drew international condemnation that it lacked transparency.
 
In weeks of on-again, off-again demonstrations, the opposition's rallying cry has been constant but so far ineffective.
 
Opponents have demanded that officials publish results from each polling station that they say would expose Maduro's attempts to steal the election.
