Before the election I collected on my Facebook lots of data about election fraud here in Brazil.

One particularly interesting case is that in one city there was the exact same number of null votes, white votes and registered voters that did not vote.

One candidate sued to have a recounting.

Not only he lost the lawsuit, but was ordered to pay a huge fine in punitive damages for "frivolous lawsuit".

Another interesting thing is that some Princeton researchers showed how to write a virus that can miscount votes on machines made by Diebold (that also make the Brazillian machines)
