Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro is under major pressure. The country will hold elections on July 28, and he's performing badly in the polls. Under his 11-year rule, Venezuela's economy collapsed, oppression increased, and about 20% of the country's population left. A diaspora of millions of people could have been crucial for the electoral outcome. But as The World's Tibisay Zea reports, most Venezuelans living abroad were not allowed to register to vote.
