@Soccerfit247 In order to win without a run-off, one candidate needs more than 50% of the valid votes cast, and Lula did not get that. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @jameslynch32: It took four hours to deliver final results in a country with compulsory voting for over 200 million people. — PolitiTweet.org

@clarksthockey One would be tempted to think that most of those are Lula votes but I'm not so sure. There will definitely be lots of abstentions. Also questions about how many Lula voters won't show up. Like I said, Lula is the clear favorite, but not definite. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Final vote has Lula in front 48-43.5%: closer than predicted. Lula will be the favorite to win the run-off but it's by no means guaranteed. There will be lots of questions. Bolsonarismo itself had a solid night in key governorships, Senate seats, a big Congressional presence. https://t.co/s5VvoIo8bx — PolitiTweet.org

A corrida presidencial foi um pouco melhor para as pesquisas, mas ainda significativamente defasada, e novamente a favor da esquerda. Isso requer uma explicação do Datafolha e de outros serviços de pesquisa sobre por que isso aconteceu e o que pode ser feito para corrigi-lo. https://t.co/xWE9MElRQf — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

E tb: Alguns erros são esperados. Mas estes são enormes e devem ser explicados. https://t.co/ZkAHFtjkCs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A menos que algo mude radicalmente nos votos restantes, as pesquisas erraram significativamente nas disputas para governador e senador em SP, e também na disputa para governador no RJ (todo em favor da esquerda). Só fatos. Isso não cria confiança nas pesquisas. https://t.co/ujxjVYeWi5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Despite this, one of Brazil's leading polling firms -- Datafolha -- says neither Lula nor Bolsonaro will win tonight, meaning neither will get more than 50% of valid votes. The two will face each other in a run-off. Big disappointment for PT, which was hoping to win tonight. https://t.co/2aHzshHLKy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

With 70% of the vote in, Lula takes his first lead of the night over Bolsonaro https://t.co/oUJHYIbOK5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just over 50% of the vote: Lula really closing in on Bolsonaro’s lead now, with still some big pro-Lula states with a lot of votes not yet in: https://t.co/FE3GaOxcM4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

41% of the vote in: Lula has cut Bolsonaro's lead to just under 3 points: 47-44%. (Note how fast the votes are being counted: only 7:30 pm local time and we're getting to 50% of the votes counted) https://t.co/hOyXR1TEiT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@OmoikaneSolitar Hard to say for sure but my guess is most go to Lula in the second round, though not overwhelmingly. Many will abstain. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TVietor08 Even before 2020, we had this problem. But either way, there is absolute no reason that the United States shouldn't be able to count all votes in one night the way many other countries do. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

20% of the vote total in. Bolsonaro 48-43% over Lula so far. I still think there's more conservative districts/regions in the bigger states counted so far, but we'll see. https://t.co/tq59MNprfq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

PT passou meses gritando "VOTE ÚTIL" para todo mundo. Será interessante ver se a recusa do PT em trocar Ceciliano por Molon, muito depois de ficar claro que só Molon poderia vencer, levará à perda dessa cadeira no Senado do RJ para Romário e bolsonaristas. Ainda é cedo. Vamos ver https://t.co/KVOdJz8MAh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Starting to tighten a bit now with 13% of the vote in. Bolsonaro's lead over Lula now less than 5 points. https://t.co/ztRHagxh5b — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In Brazil: still early, with 10% of the precincts counted, and lots of progressive regions uncounted, but Bolsonaro has about a 5.5 point lead on Lula: https://t.co/EU1FySerK4 — PolitiTweet.org

@analuizadenovo Talvez não saiba, mas o mesmo Moro acusou seu candidato de ser corrupto. Quando um jornalista expõe a corrupção de um poderoso, não é culpa do jornalista. Você deveria estar com raiva de Moro por ter manipulado de forma corrupta o julgamento de Lula, não eu por mostrá-lo. — PolitiTweet.org

@brockm It's just not California. It happens in many states. It happens at the national level. The full vote count doesn't get published or certified for weeks, sometimes longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Election Day in Brazil today: the polls closed at 5 pm local time. The full results will be out and certified tonight. Many elections in the US take weeks or months for there to be a full count. The California primary took months. This can only be purposeful. — PolitiTweet.org

@analuizadenovo Meu marido deixou o PSOL em parte por causa de seu protesto de apoio a Lula no primeiro turno e para apoiar Ciro, e eu nunca cheguei perto de declarar meu apoio a Lula, então não tenho ideia do que você está falando, e nem você. — PolitiTweet.org

@luckylurker3 @CaboDaciolo I don't know if you're able to read English -- it doesn't appear so -- but the article is about people exactly like you. You can read it here in the re-purposed essay from Disparada: https://t.co/OUcWbq0rQn — PolitiTweet.org

The Brazilian firefighter, union leader, evangelical and ex-Congressman @CaboDaciolo was once embraced by the left, but is now vilified by many of them as a "hater," especially of LGBTs. Many vital lessons are here. — PolitiTweet.org

@Rodrigo47939718 Você acredita que Alexandre de Moraes deve ser o único a determinar o que é digno de notícia, relevante e adequado para reportagem, ao invés de jornalistas e editores? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

To be clear: I loathe this site. After they were censored in 2017, we re-published their article in support. Then they lead the campaign calling for my imprisonment for the reporting we did on the corrupt judge they worship. It's the principle: judicial censorship is dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As I noted, the NYT ran an article this week on the excesses of the Brazilian Supreme Court: using authoritarian means including censorship to "protect democracy"(ie stop Bolsonaro). Now we have this stunning censorship order on Election Day: https://t.co/UpbsF288vM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is a center-right/right-wing site: both anti-Bolsonaro and anti-Lula. They're fans of the corrupt Judge who oversaw Lula's now-discredited conviction. They obtained a police audio recording of a major drug lord saying he supports Lula. A Sup Court judge banned the article: — PolitiTweet.org
