Chavez defeated in bid for reform in Venezuela
Chavez suffered his first electoral defeat as voters rejected sweeping constitutional reforms by 51 to 49 percent amid late night results. The measure would have kept him in power, expanded socialist policies, and altered civil liberties, while turnout dipped to 56 percent. Chavez acknowledged the verdict, urged calm, and vowed to respect democracy.
