    do brazilian elections have the same bias as US elections, where votes for “right” candidates are generally counted and reported before votes for “left” candidates?

      According to some rumors that I have read in a Telegram channel, it seems so.

      This is the latest count

          If Flavio’s count doesn’t go beyond 50%, then it seems highly likely that a runoff election will happen.

            am i right in thinking that flavio is likely to win the runoff? it seems as though the majority of the third-party votes are for far-right candidates

              It is difficult for me to make an educated guess because I don’t have as much insight as a Brazilian comrade.

              Hopefully, someone with better insight might come along and give you their perspective.
