Things are not looking good in Brazil.
do brazilian elections have the same bias as US elections, where votes for “right” candidates are generally counted and reported before votes for “left” candidates?
According to some rumors that I have read in a Telegram channel, it seems so.
This is the latest count
with this trend, is it likely that brazil will go to runoff elections?
If Flavio’s count doesn’t go beyond 50%, then it seems highly likely that a runoff election will happen.
am i right in thinking that flavio is likely to win the runoff? it seems as though the majority of the third-party votes are for far-right candidates
It is difficult for me to make an educated guess because I don’t have as much insight as a Brazilian comrade.
Hopefully, someone with better insight might come along and give you their perspective.
my mistake. i thought i remembered you saying somewhere that you were brazilian, but i must have been thinking of someone else.
I am actually from Mexico. 😄
