The only thing insane about this election was how he blatantly disrespected the law by increasing government spending in the months prior to the election. Multiple institutions verified the results of the election system. The "armed forces report" says only that they cannot prove that no fraud happened, but they failed to find a single evidence of fraud. It's important to contextualize this properly, the armed forces were fully willing to support Bolsonaro in a coup, and only gave up because he screwed up every possible internal and external support for this. After this all attempts to "question" the electoral results were an attempt to inflame Bolsonaro supporters that were demanding a coup. I don't even like Lula btw. But your descriptions of what is happening in Brazil are just plain wrong. |

So you have nothing to say about the blatant disproportional censorship that goes on to this day? Electoral justice court judges that openly favored Lula? Who even admitted to it and were proud of their partiality?
> The "armed forces report" says only
Did you read it? The Makefile that builds the voting machine software downloads and links unaudited closed source third party libraries from the internet.
You actually trust this? I can deal with the fact laymen on social media didn't understand the problem but I sure as hell didn't expect to see Hacker News users defending this crap. Literally days ago there was news here about some compromised Python library.
Besides, they don't have to prove fraud. The mere possibility of fraud is more than enough to cast doubt on any results produced by that process. It's up to the authorities to demonstrate that it's immune to fraud. Why should a people cede power to any politician if they aren't absolutely sure the election was legit?

Can you elaborate on this? Because what I saw was huge masses of people begging them to do something and being ignored. All that's left is for Lula to order the armed forces to remove the protesters like he said he would.
What support did he screw up? Because it looks like he had none to begin with. Not surprising really, Bolsonaro put his foot in his mouth on a daily basis for all 4 years of his mandate. He isolated himself from everyone.

And I suppose yours is better?
