Have a closer look at the article. I read it after posting here.

Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino shared Mr Blinken's view, writing in a post on X, formerly Twitter: "We can all confirm, without a doubt, that the legitimate winner and President-elect is Edmundo González."

Ecuador, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Peru have also recognised Mr González as the president-elect...

[Machado] claimed her party's candidate, Mr Gonzalez, won by a landslide and Ms Machado said she could prove this because she had receipts from more than 80% of polling stations.

Ms Machado appealed for help, saying it was now up to the international community to decide whether to tolerate what she called an illegitimate government.

Ok. So the US says so, a number of states aligned with the US, and the Venezuelan opposition. Still no evidence.

I gather that the Nobel Prize does not convey a tendency for honesty.

"[Machado] claimed her party's candidate, Mr Gonzalez, won by a landslide and Ms Machado said she could prove this because she had receipts from more than 80% of polling stations."

Yes, the opposition claimed that it had proof. However, it has not allowed any independent third parties to verify said proof. That she won a peace prize is inconsequential. They gave one to Henry Kissinger too.

None of it is proof, but all of it is evidence. Given that you have provided zero evidence to the contrary, the balance of evidence seems clear.
