I find it amazing how Twitter was simply activated. Went from 0 tweets to coordinated attacks by Tommy Robinson, End Wokeness and other types who have never written about Brazil till today

In practical terms, given how things developed in practice, the voting extension did very little. Most voters stayed home past 5. And Lula won by 4 million votes. 4 million people did not vote in the few polls that were open past 5, that is absurd

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

In Brazil, if you are in line to vote inside the voting station you have a legal right to vote, meaning polls stay open past 5pm all the time. This is fake news. What happened was those polls were people were no longer voting closed and those where they did followed the extension

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

The major question in Brazil…

At exactly 5pm, a code is supposed to be entered that closes and locks the voting machines. Once a machine is locked, it can’t accept any more votes. It’s irreversible.

The Supreme Court extension was relayed a few minutes after polls were supposed to be closed and machines locked.

So… which machines were kept open? In what districts were those machines? And why weren’t they locked at 5pm?

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

At the end of the day, the real story is Lula won despite voter suppression and against a Bolsonaro appointed TSE judge that was going to let it happen. And Bolsonaro lost despite a Lula appointed judge granting his extension

The speculation now is whether Flavio Bolsonaro will flee the country to avoid the many many corruption cases chasing him

@esjesjesj Both candidates requested the extension. Bolsonaro bc of rain. Lula bc of voter suppression by Bolsonarista mayors. But the Bolsonaro-appointed Electoral Judge supposed to decide refused to. So a Lula-appointed Supreme Court Justice did. The unlawful stuff was not from Lula

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Basically, Lula’s campaign managed to increase turnout and convince undecided voters that a weak President they don’t like is better than an all-powerful President they don’t like

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Lula va a ganar antes que Lima termine de contar 😂
