n the Democrat scheme of things, when one is losing an election, the thing to do is to keep on producing and counting ballots until one gets the result one wants.
We saw that in 2020, we saw that in the Los Angeles mayoral primary.
But now we see it in Brazil's election, where a socialist judge who had served as President Luiz Inacio 'Lula' da Silva's personal lawyer decided to increase voting by two hours -- after all the conservative districts had shut down their operations and could not restart their voting machines.
🚨 COUP: In American terms, what Brazil's Supreme Court just did in tonight's election to Bolsonaro is let a place like deep-blue Broward County FL keep voting while red Lee County has to shut their polls down. Let Detroit vote while Macomb can't. Let Dane and Madison WI vote while the red WOW counties can't. Let Philly vote while Butler and Westmoreland can't. HOW IS THIS ALLOWED?! If this happened in America, there would be thousands in the streets. WAKE UP, BRAZIL!!

Net result? Lula defeated conservative presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro even after the latter had squarely won round one with margin to spare and smaller parties likely to consolidate to him.
Never happened like that before.
