Bolsonaro's political party, PL, contested the elections. Bolsonaro himself didn't show up at all.<p>They presented a rather detailed report describing the discrepancies found during the second round of elections. Many of these discrepancies had been published earlier and censored by Alexandre de Moraes, member of the brazilian electoral and supreme courts. So yesterday they finally made an official request to at the very least look into this matter and explain this stuff and either disregard the votes of the problematic voting machines or hold a new election.<p>I doubt Alexandre even read the report. He received a copy and 13 minutes later decided that PL had 24 hours to make a revised report analyzing the first round of elections as well. I don't really know why. Any problems indicating fraud would nullify the entire election, that's what the law says. It doesn't matter where those problems are found.<p>So today PL continued to push this matter. In response, Alexandre de Moraes denied the request, applied a fine of about 4 million USD to the entire political party, cut off their government funding and placed the party leaders under investigation for "antidemocratic acts". He did not refute even a single argument from the document.<p>It's surreal.<p>Just submitted news about the response here: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33727512" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33727512</a>
