As the article says, it hasn't taken days of delay before in Venezuela. And the Carter Center is a respectable elections observer, and is not happy - they've waited, but things still aren't happening. In the USA, the counts appear as they can.

It seems Maduro's government is blaming the delay on an "attack on the electrical grid", though I can't find anything else talking about that: (Bloomberg article, not behind a paywall) https://archive.ph/x4lCM
