this seems to be all the rage these days and with millions of brazilians pouring into the streets and shutting down big swathes of the country over what they claim to be widespread and severe fraud by a politician whose last reign was characterized by just such things, much of the political in-gang all over the world has a worried weather eye on the issue.
and they are terrified of this.
and 2020 was obviously a clownshow of unprecedentedly slipshod voting practice, counting discontinuities, and inability to review and assess methods and outcomes.
whatever happened, the sheer stonewalling of electoral officials preventing audits and investigation and the wild lack of accountability or even curiosity about that was as breathtaking as the sudden pivot of the same people who spent 4 years yelling “orange man election illegitimate!” to “questioning a US election makes you a domestic terrorist and a threat to america!”
it was frankly grotesque how transparently situational all these ethics became.
this fact pattern alone is plenty for reasonable people to ask reasonable questions and to have substantial failures of trust in the system.
and the evolution is ongoing as this same “it’s treason when you do it” team is already questioning the seeming red wave to come and trying to cast it as illegitimate.

HOW IT’S DONE: Over 3 Million Brazilians Protest Election Fraud – Bolsonaro to Annul the Steal!
This is how it’s done: Over 3 million Brazilians filled the streets on Republic Day yesterday, Nov. 15, to protest the stolen elections. The party of President Jair Bolsonaro presented its report and announced it will apply to have the election annulled since the results could not be validated. ...
“I’m no expert on the history of protests, but I think these may be the biggest protests the world has ever seen,” Brazil expert Fernando Teles told German website Free World. “People are very angry. That isn’t really like the Brazilians at all, who are usually pretty laid back.”

Protests over the outcome of Brazil's recent presidential election continue unabated. Protesters are ENRAGED. What has them exercised? Ballots with defeated Jair Bolsonaro's name on them were found in the trash. Take a look:

Here we have a Supreme Court that is refusing to look at the evidence!
So the Amazon indigenous people filed a petition with the United Nations to intervene and prevent their disenfranchisement.

Not sure what the UN can do other than issue a censure and hold back funds.

Brazil’s military is preparing to step in to overturn the results of the nation’s recent controversial presidential election, according to reports.
Military officials are planning to invoke Article 142 in an effort to defend incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro.
The move will see the military assume control of the embattled nation and annul the election results while restoring law and order to Brazil.
The notoriously corrupt Socialist party was declared the winner in the race, triggering widespread unrest from outraged Brazilians.
In a freak election, where voting machines tallied every vote, socialist felon Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva managed to “win” the election against the hugely popular Bolsonaro.
The apparent victory came despite Lula’s party losing seats in the parliament.
In an unusual step for the military, the Army has invaded favelas of Rio de Janeiro and killed top leaders of the Comando Vermelho (Red Command) drug cartel, which supports the Communist criminal Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Observers take this to indicate the beginning of a federal military intervention. The drug gangs were the only ones to celebrate the alleged election victory by criminal Lula Oct. 30, firing automatic weapons in the air in the favelas. President Bolsonaro cracked down hard on the Brazilian drug gangs.
“The heads of drug trafficking of Morro do Juramento and Juramentinho, identified as Rodrigo Barbosa Marinho, known as Rolinha or Titio Rolinha, and Hevelton Nascimento Júnior, the “Bad Boy”, respectively, were killed during a Military Police operation in Vicente de Carvalho on Thursday (1st). Three other suspects died in the action and one, who was also injured, is imprisoned in custody in the hospital” O Dia reports.
It will be interesting to see how this sorts out as another 'military option' trial run after Mynamar. Will there be civil war? Will there be a peaceful and accurate new election process? Will the military exceed their charter and take over to produce a military dictatorship? Curious minds want to know.

Looks like the guy is full of shit. I don't see anything corroborating his assertions anywhere else. All Bolsonaro did is contested the election results on Nov 22, not "annuled" it today (or tomorrow) and nowhere is any kind of recount done by Brazilian military being reported either.
