For a brief moment, people in the Venezuelan diaspora felt a surge of hope as reports indicated the opposition party was polling way ahead of Nicolas Maduro's party. Then, Venezuela's electoral authority declared Maduro the winner.
Members of the opposition have cried foul. And the US and other international observers have questioned the integrity of the election.
So where does Sunday's election leave Venezuelans, who are living in the midst of a humanitarian emergency?
And where does it leave the nearly 8 million people who have left Venezuela during President Maduro's time in office?
