Guillaume Herblot presented the extension of the vote in Brazil as an example of "the deep state," believing that France was experiencing a similar mechanism. He wrote that, on Sunday, after the counting began as scheduled at the closing of the polls at 5 PM, Lula's campaign had appealed to the STF to request a national extension. According to him, Judge Cristiano Zanin, Lula's former personal lawyer and appointed to the Supremo Tribunal Federal by him in 2023, had ordered two additional hours, forcing the TSE to halt the count. He mentioned polling stations that had closed and then reopened in confusion. Herblot also recalled that in 2022, Alexandre de Moraes, then head of the TSE, had rejected a similar request from the PT despite roadblocks. He felt that the rules were applied differently depending on the concerned camp and that judicial and administrative institutions had become political actors. For France, he cited the Constitutional Council, the Court of Cassation, the Council of State, administrative jurisdictions, and part of the public prosecutor's office. He accused them of limiting the scope of reforms voted by elected majorities through interpretations of the law, priority questions of constitutionality, and censorship decisions. He also stated that senior officials and magistrates continued to influence the limits of political debate despite changes in political personnel. Herblot concluded that in both countries, unelected institutions held what he believed to be a blocking and interpretative power that diminished the impact of changes resulting from elections. #ÉtatProfond #Démocratie #Justice (translated)

Ed Raposo commented that Fachin had said that democracy required the loser to respect the rules of the game. He also mentioned the investigation against Flávio, stated that the STF was waiting for a "turn" and classified a poll as suspicious, concluding that the situation was starting to become strange. #Democracia #Justiça #Política (translated)

Allan Dos Santos shared a report according to which ministers of the Supreme Federal Court aligned with Alexandre de Moraes considered the probability of Lula defeating Flávio Bolsonaro in the second round to be high. Judges reportedly pointed to a reaction from pro-Lula groups after the defeat of the PT candidate in the first round by less than two percentage points and evaluated that this, along with economic initiatives from the government, could influence the outcome. According to the report, the president of a centrist party told ministers that Lula would win by a margin smaller than that recorded against Jair Bolsonaro in 2022, estimated at around 1 million votes. Judges also recounted that Lula, in discreet conversations with members of the Supreme Court, expressed surprise at having fallen behind Flávio in the first round. Meanwhile, the group aligned with André Mendonça did not believe that Lula could reverse the scenario and considered Flávio's victory to be certain. Dos Santos asked Grok if it was normal for one of the largest newspapers in Brazil to publish the opinions of STF ministers on the results of the elections. #Eleições2024 #STF #Lula (translated)

The g1 reported that messages and documents seized by the Federal Police indicated that lawyer Willer Tomaz, a friend of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), allegedly paid to have online reports linking him to the politician, who is a presidential candidate, removed from the internet. According to the publication, both were under investigation in an inquiry at the Federal Supreme Court (STF), overseen by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, on suspicion of money laundering. The Federal Police found messages on Tomaz's cell phone from a service for removing negative content. The case had been revealed by O Globo and confirmed by TV Globo. The g1 reported that a spreadsheet compiled 12 links to articles about Tomaz and indicated that a company called Seu Nome Novo de Novo had removed the contents. Among them were articles about a dispute involving a million-dollar mansion, which mentioned Tomaz as a friend of Bolsonaro's son, and about Flávio Bolsonaro, casinos, and operators in Las Vegas. According to the investigation report cited by the g1, the Federal Police assessed that Tomaz had contracted and paid a third party to remove or de-index the contents from Google's search results. Messages sent in October 2025 indicated a charge of R$ 1,000 per link, or R$ 12,000 in total. A representative of the company reportedly offered a discount of R$ 3,000, related to a link that had already been removed but reappeared, reducing the amount to be paid to R$ 9,000. Tomaz's defense stated in a note that the measure concerned an action regarding old and outdated content. #WillerTomaz #FlávioBolsonaro #PolíciaFederal #investigação #política #g1política #investigação #PolíciaFederal #política (translated)

Byanu asked voters who had lost hope in a better country and saw corruption without justice not to annul their vote, not to vote blank, and not to abstain from voting. He stated that the election would be an opportunity to definitively defeat Lula and the PT and said that without these votes, the party would appoint four more seats to the STF, prolonging the situation he criticized for more than 40 years. In the end, he called on voters to vote on Sunday for number 22. https://t.co/xJMtZeTbZe #Eleições2023 #Vote #Mudança (translated)

Jones Manoel urged Governor Raquel Lyra to provide free intermunicipal transportation, regulated by EPTI, on the day of the election. In a post made four days before the second round, he stated that the STF and TSE mandated free public transport on election days and that the Public Prosecutor's Office of Pernambuco had already demanded measures from the state government, without a response until then. He questioned whether Lyra would comply with the law. Manoel also stated that more than 1,311,000 people had abstained in the first round and that he had heard accounts from voters who were unable to vote due to lack of money for the fare. He asked his followers to pressure the governor and demand a response. #TransporteGratuito #Eleições2023 #DireitoAoVoto (translated)

Jones Manoel stated that, in the first round of the elections, EPTI, responsible for regulating intermunicipal transport in Pernambuco, did not guarantee free service. According to him, workers from Agreste, Sertão, and Zona da Mata had their voting rights disrespected. Manoel said that a resolution from the STF, in effect since 2022, guaranteed free transportation to workers in the country on the day of voting. Just a few days before the second round, he wrote that Pernambuco, governed by Raquel Lyra, was the only state that had not yet regulated this right. #TransportePúblico #Eleições2023 #DireitosHumanos (translated)

Carlos Bolsonaro stated that Jair Bolsonaro always respected the decisions of the STF, the Constitution, and the laws, although, according to him, many pointed him out for his "mistakes." He said that only later did it become easier to understand what was happening and contrasted his father's posture with that of Lula, whom he accused of having been raised to power by the system and acting without concern. Carlos also stated that, after Jair Bolsonaro and his sons, the next target of what he called hatred would be the reader. Therefore, he urged people to take a stand against what he described as a threat to Brazil and to support Flávio Bolsonaro for president, number 22, on the 25th. In the end, he asked God to have mercy on the country. #Brasil #Bolsonaro #Eleições2022 (translated)

Janoninho (Lula) wrote that a network of connections, jets, and suspicions involving Flávio Bolsonaro, Banco Master, and a minister of the STF had gained significant attention on the internet.

David Ágape stated that Alfredo Gaspar, Flávio Bolsonaro's deputy, reported Petistas to the Federal Police, claiming they spread the rumor that Gaspar would be an abuser, even after the Supreme Court dismissed the case. Ágape said that two individuals mentioned in the investigations he was conducting regarding a supposed "parallel cabinet" of Lula during the elections were among the targets of an investigation ordered by the Justice: Brunna Rosa Alfaia, former Secretary of Strategy and Networks of Secom, and Cristianlene de Carvalho, known as Kriska, presented by the Perseu Abramo Foundation as a digital strategist. According to Ágape, material published on October 8 depicted Gaspar as under investigation for sexual crimes against a child. He added that the Supreme Court had dismissed the request to open an inquiry against Gaspar two days prior. https://t.co/qjx15salua #FlávioBolsonaro #Justiça #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

David Ágape stated that, 25 days after the Lula government suspended betting sites that it had regulated and licensed, illegal houses were still operational. According to him, the government had not taken measures regarding the problem and was focused on trying to get re-elected. Ágape said that the market was regulated in 2023 with the argument of combating illegal betting and protecting bettors. The licensed sites, he stated, went offline starting October 6. He also mentioned a manifestation from the AGU to the STF about the risk of bettors migrating to the illegal market, which, according to estimates he cited, already represented between 38% to 44% or more of the sector. The author claimed that influencers with millions of followers were still promoting illegal betting houses in Instagram stories, despite reports made by A Investigação. He said that no measures had been taken up to that point and that he would continue to monitor the case. https://t.co/1V9t284QDz #ApostasIlegais #Lula #Regulamentação (translated)
