Because Zanin issued his order right at the 5PM closing bell, pro-Bolsonaro precincts that closed on time permanently locked their electronic voting machines...while unclosed precincts in regions like the Lula-heavy areas kept taking votes until 7PM.
Electoral lawyer Priscilla Sodré Pereira told the NYT: "This is an extremely serious, critical situation."
Electoral law professor Fernando Neisser said that the election could be annulled if the margin is tight and the evidence shows "that polling stations stayed open longer in areas that strongly favor one candidate"
Even the New York Times is now admitting it.
BRAZIL IS AN OCCUPIED NATION and needs FAIR, FREE elections!
I bet Trump is watching closely!
