🇧🇷 HOW did Lula manage to gain 10M votes between rounds in Brazil's presidential election, compared with just 4M for Flávio Bolsonaro?
In the first round, ~9.5M votes went to other candidates, while changes in turnout, blank ballots, and invalid votes added another ~5M to the calculation.
That leaves a pool of ~14M votes.
Flávio gained 4M, rising from 56M to ~60M.
Lula gained 10M, jumping from 54M to 64.1M.
That works out to 71% of the net gains for Lula and just 29% for Flávio.
What makes this particularly striking is the claim that ~10M of those 14M votes came from voters who had backed eliminated candidates with more right-wing political platforms.
So how did Lula end up gaining so much more ground in just 3 weeks?
The figures don't prove wrongdoing or show exactly how individuals voted, but the dramatic shift has raised serious questions about the results.
To say nothing of the unprecedented 2-hr extension of voting, signed off by Lula's own fmr. defense attorney...
Something stinks...
