About this listen
In an open election, the winner is the one who gets more votes. But what happens when authoritarians stage “selections” instead of elections, or try to rig the outcome while still allowing other parties and candidates to campaign?
Mu Sochua and David Smolansky Urosa, prominent Cambodian and Venezuelan opposition leaders who managed to win election to office against the odds, share their perspectives on how bold oppositionists around the world have tried to challenge authoritarians at the heavily tilted ballot box—and ultimately retain and even build connections to home from exile.
