Minister Alexandre de Moraes, President of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE), said this Sunday afternoon (2) that the elections are taking place within normal limits. “Interferences occur in all elections. We have occasionally had problems that have been resolved, such as the voter who voted twice in Lisbon. But in general, the population is showing democratic maturity and the elections are going smoothly and normally,” Moraes said at a press conference in Brasília.
The TSE President said that the fact that some polling stations in Rio de Janeiro are currently registering the biometrics of some voters who have not yet registered does not necessarily mean more queues. He also said voters welcomed the new rule on mobile phones not being taken into the polling booths and that there had been no complaints about the ban on carrying guns.
The minister also commented on the document published on Wednesday (28th) by the PL, President Jair Bolsonaro’s party, which criticizes the Brazilian electoral system. “The TSE claims they are a liar and a fraud, so much so [o PL] responds to request. The deadline for answers is approaching. We’ll find out who did it, how it did it, and who paid. And paid for the scam. This is a common crime alongside an election crime and is under investigation. I have no information from the PL if they will conduct any kind of inspection. The PL, like all parties and all regulators, including the armed forces, has full access to the ballot box [BU]as well as all [pessoa] the human”.
