Lula has picked up 48%. He'll surely get the 2% he needs without chasing the evangelicals who will never vote for him?

After Jair Bolsonaro makes openly paedophilic remarks in a filmed interview, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro angrily denies that the extreme right president is a paedophile, calling the video of his father making openly paedophilic remarks "fake news". https://t.co/0jEEYBmC1i— BRASILWIRE (@BRASILWIRE) October 16, 2022

Jair Bolsonaro, who has spent days denying paedophilia, and is to be investigated for paedophilia apologism, has filmed a video asking forgiveness for linking 14 year old Venezuelans to prostitution, after describing his sexual chemistry with one. pic.twitter.com/20GPKCfvcj— BRASILWIRE (@BRASILWIRE) October 18, 2022

🚨 This is EXTREMELY important. Simulations of the second round suggest that Lula will only take the lead when *88.5%* of votes have been counted. Be careful: Bolsonaristas will be crying victory all the way until this switch – and then fraud all the way after. pic.twitter.com/JFnGHnx5Dd— David Adler (@davidrkadler) October 27, 2022

I'm starting to worry about me and my wife and friends and family security when voting this Sunday... thinking about if it's best to have lots of people really close together and maybe stay near the voting place after for a while just to make sure there's a good presence of Lula's voters there and maybe this could diffuse the tension/fear mongering somehow. Never thought in my life I'd have to do that.

Thank you all. I'm from Recife, Pernambuco, northeast. I'm living in the US now, NY, for the last 5 years. But even here during the last vote it was pretty tense, with lots of taunting from his followers... And a pretty crowded street without a lot of coordination from the NYPD. This asshole really needs to go. Just on his Covid response he should be prosecuted by international law.

I musta admit I cringe every time I see shots of Lula being driven though the streets on the back of a lorry, it would be so easy for someone to take a shot at him.

Went to the vigil for deaths in police custody at Downing Street yesterday and we passed a PT rally, lots of shouts of support and "we're with you" from the PT crowd. Lovely stuff.
Unrelated, but as the thing wound up an Iranian protest came to take our place that had some seriously chaotic energy - lgbt flags jostling with a sign saying "thank you Donald Trump - Make Iran Great Again" and one with the face of Khomeini and "CIA agent" and "666" written on it.

If frontrunner Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins Brazil’s election it would mark a major comeback for the leftist, signaling that Brazilians care more about jobs and food than battling corruption
the grapes were already sour at the WSJ yesterday before any votes have been counted. Good luck Brazil.

He is leading 50.7%-49.3% with 96.6% in, apparently most outstanding votes from northeast. Lula winning isn’t the issue, it’s whether Bolsonaro concedes.
