Venezuela is less than three days from a vote that would start the process of rewriting its constitution by electing members of a special assembly to reshape the charter. The opposition is boycotting the vote, saying election rules were rigged to guarantee President Nicolas Maduro a majority in the constitutional assembly. (AP Photo/Ariana Cubillos)
