Venezuela’s electoral council will complete an audit of presidential election results following calls for a recount by opposition candidate Henrique Capriles. Officials say they had already audited more than half of the vote but will now examine the remaining 46 percent. The United States has backed calls for a recount after Capriles contested the tight victory by Nicolás Maduro, chosen successor of the late President Hugo Chávez. Capriles claims the audit will show he won the election.
