Brazil’s polls closed at 5 p.m. The count had started. The electoral court had already published its first results.

Then Lula’s campaign went to the corrupt Supreme Court.

Justice Cristiano Zanin spent a decade as Lula’s defense lawyer. Lula appointed him to the court in 2023. Minutes after polls closed, Zanin ordered every polling station in Brazil to keep taking votes for two more hours.

The stated reason was bus shortages, mainly in Salvador. Bahia’s electoral court had already handled it. It ordered the full fleet back on the road, ordered the arrest of the city’s transit secretary, and set a fine of R$1 million per hour. The city said service was restored.

A local problem. Already fixed locally. Zanin extended voting nationwide anyway.

🚨 Brazil's right wing revolution has begun... Thousands upon thousands of people took to the streets in Rio de Janeiro in support of Flavio Bolsonaro as he attempts to take down Lula and declare war on the gangs of Brazil.

Under Lula a Supreme Court judge put former president Jair Bolsonaro in prison and then house arrest for the next 20+ years. His son Flavio is running to free his father and free Brazil from Lula’s communist-like government.

Brazil's right wing movement is being led by the Bolsonaros, 30 year old Nikolas Ferreira, and 28 year old Lucas Pavanato. Something incredible is taking place as millions reject the ideas of socialism and communism.
VAMOS BRAZIL! 🇧🇷
