75% in. Lula clinging to the tiniest of leads. https://t.co/AJrpItTIVD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

First Lula lead basically since the start. Tiny though it is, petistas near me are shooting fireworks. 68% in: https://t.co/UnG2Wq5M6v — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@weblevi Yes, and there are many pro-Lula states in the Northeast at similar counts. SP is already over 58%; Rio at 45%. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

With 62% of the vote in, Lula has caught Bolsonaro and it’s now basically tied. Way too hard to predict but it’s a similar the pattern of the first round (won by Lula by 5 points). Not seeing huge amounts of uncounted Bolsonaro strongholds, https://t.co/s7v2nggLOE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ExResurgam @Haddad_Fernando Yes, the last polls showed the SP Governor race within the margin of error (4 points), but the race was called before 50% of the votes cast because the pro-Bolsonaro candidate has a 13-point lead that's not going anywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In a major win for Bolsonaro and loss for PT, the pro-Bolsonaro candidate for São Paulo Governor (Tarcisio), defeats PT's 2018 losing presidential candidate @Haddad_Fernando. Bolsonaro's party will be the largest in both houses of Congress and control Governorships of SP and Rio https://t.co/wrzUmasiuJ — PolitiTweet.org

@R1Machiavellian SP up to 37% in. Rio up to 34%. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just shy of half the votes counted, Bolsonaro still clinging to his lead over Lula. But it keeps shrinking: now less than 1 point: https://t.co/VqFepe7aH7 — PolitiTweet.org

Now 30% of the vote in. Gap closes a bit more. Bolsonaro’s lead now down to just over 2 points: https://t.co/VMqU0bYdZS — PolitiTweet.org

@GeoffreyWise6 I mostly agree, but with a country as plagued by inequality as Brazil, the idea was to ensure full representation. One is allowed to vote "blank" or "nobody." There's only a very small mostly symbolic fine for not voting. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just over 10% of the vote in, Bolsonaro clinging to a 4-point lead. Most states are still very partially counted, including big pro-Lula ones in the Northeast, so can’t draw much yet from this: https://t.co/Yh3gq8q5jG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AroonDeep I'm using the Brazilian elections app (resultados) but pretty much every major Brazilian news site has up-to-date official counts: https://t.co/iQKXCvkLkI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@DrNo_Reformed Yes, paper ballots. There'a move to have printed ballot backups, which could be done pretty easily, but they use machine voting and machine tallies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

First Bolsonaro lead: still not even 1% but it’s a country of 220 million people - mandatory voting and a 16-year old voting age minimum - and the full count will be done within a few hours tonight. https://t.co/ESDzhDouJh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Two minutes after polls closed, vote counts are already coming in. Obviously way too tiny to be meaningful but Americans will be shocked by how quickly these votes will be counted tonight. https://t.co/j5f5GJqINP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RafaAma7 You're a massive unthreatening zero. Nobody has any interest in putting you in any camp because nobody gives a shit. Bolsonaro has threatened explicitly to imprison me and federal prosecutors tried. I have nothing to prove to empty LARPers like you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mauricioievski @BuffaloChris_ If you could identify any inaccuracy, I will happily correct. My 2 claims: 1) de Moraes has become public enemy number 1 of the Bolsonaro movement for various orders (arresting Daniel Silveira, Allan dos Santos, removing posts, etc.), and 2) majority of STF is appointed by PT. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BuffaloChris_ Thanks, and yes, you can see several absolute petista idiots accusing me of being pro-Bolsonaro because I accurately described to an English-speaking audience who de Moraes is and what he decided: https://t.co/aSJmBNWRMJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BuffaloChris_ Maybe you can talk to the numerous people in this same thread accusing me of cheering for Bolsonaro and work it out with them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tombastino1866 @mauricioievski The majority of the STF is appointed by PT and de Moraes in particular has become public enemy number 1 of the Bolsonaro movement for his continued orders against them. Only liars deny the virtual war between the STF/de Moraes and bolsonarists. It's fundamental to Brazil. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jeffguyperson @luizamhz Too bad I'm working very little because my priority for is my husband in ICU and the need to take care of our children, leaving me with no ability single-handedly to investigate an extremely complex claim about impact on voters on one hour notice. Talk to your friends at Globo. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BuffaloChris_ What the fuck are you talking about? How is this a remotely rational response to what I just said? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mauricioievski It's a statement of fact. I know you're not used to this but that's what journalists do: explain facts even if it doesn't help your party. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@luizamhz I didn't say the impact was minimal. I have no way to assess that. I said that was de Moraes' claim when explaining why he wouldn't extend voting times. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Polls in Brazil close 1 hour from now (4 pm ET). Results should start coming in pretty quickly after. Appeals were made to an anti-Bolsonaro Supreme Court justice to extend voting time due to police blocking of public transportation, but he refused, arguing impact was minimal👇 https://t.co/9c7cCqcKAq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WyreDavies Beyond what I just said, the gentleman below is correct that Bolsonaro - for whatever motives - has worked recently to increase various social program spending. It may not endure beyond the election but you can read about it here: https://t.co/YJTJ5f7RqM https://t.co/Ao2uhCg7vg — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WyreDavies Lula is going to be more limited with domestic politics than people realize due to the very significant success of bolsonaristas in the first round (his party is the biggest in the House and Senate), and any President's dependence on the corrupt transactional "Centrão" faction. — PolitiTweet.org
