A report back from the presidential election.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was recently elected to a second six-year term in office. His victory comes amid deep economic hardship that is causing hundreds of thousands of people to leave the country. While Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, this wealth has contributed to many of its economic problems.
