The federal deputy and son of the Brazilian president, Eduardo Bolsonaro, attacked the electronic voting machines on Wednesday, one day after his father’s party called for the annulment of part of the votes that gave victory to Lula da Silva????????
“If electronic voting machines were only appreciated by a few countries, now no serious country will adopt them,” Eduardo Bolsonaro wrote on the social network Twitter, sharing a video featuring Steve Bannon, former ideological adviser to former US President Donald Trump defends the protests in Brazil, which question the results of the elections.
“Censorship accompanies. But make no mistake, this is the opinion of the majority abroad. The freer international press has better covered our election”, added the federal deputy.
In the video shared by Eduardo Bolsonaro, Bannon states that “once you start digitizing the elections, you have no evidence of the identity” of the voters. “All this is done for one reason: stealing elections”said the former Trump adviser.
Bannon, who helped run Trump’s campaign in 2016 and was his top political strategist until his departure from the White House in 2017, He was sentenced by a US court to four months in prison and a fine of $6,500 (6,600 euros). for disrespecting the investigative committee of the Capitol invasion.

These accusations by Eduardo Bolsonaro come one day after the party of the still Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, asked the electoral authorities to cancel part of the ballot boxes used in the presidential elections on October 30, but without mentioning the ballot boxes in the first return and the general elections of October 2, in which he was the great winner, electing 99 federal deputies.

In statements to the media, without the right to ask questions, in Brasilia, engineer Carlos Rocha, responsible for auditing the Liberal Party (PL) report, indicated that an “invalid number” was found in some ballot boxes, indicating a ” sign of a very strong malfunction of the ballot box”, thus generating “uncertainty in the data of these ballot boxes”.
“It was discovered that there were ballot boxes that collided and went out in the same voting period and turned on again,” he stressed, adding that this represents a “violation of the secrecy of the act of voting.”
In a contradictory act, the president of the PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, together with the auditors, said that this report does not represent the opinion of the party.
At stake will be more than 250 thousand ballot boxes (before 2020), about half of the total used in the October 30 presidential electionwon and ratified by electoral authorities and international observers, by Lula da Silva.
In the same press conference, the party’s lawyer, Marcelo Bessa, indicated that in the polls prior to 2020, Lula da Silva won by 52% compared to 48% for Jair Bolsonaro.
But, according to the report, in the new polls the result was the opposite: Jair Bolsonaro won with 51% and Lula da Silva registered 48.95% of the votes.
The protests against the victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the presidential elections of October 30 and in favor of a military intervention returned to gain strength last week, leveraged by the national holiday of the establishment of the Republic in Brazil, with thousands of demonstrators meeting in front of barracks in various Brazilian states.
To put an end to these protests, considered anti-democratic by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), Judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered the blocking of 43 bank accounts of businessmen who would be sponsoring and supporting the camps in front of the headquarters, which still persist after three weeks after the narrow defeat of the still Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro.
The investigation, still ongoing, points to the suspicion that businessmen whose bank accounts were blocked acted to finance these anti-democratic acts and provided a complete structure, which includes everything from tents and toilets to food for the protesters.
