This paragraph from an article trying to explain the round one results makes no sense and tells you only vote manipulation can explain the results.
The results of the elections point to a great paradox: despite being ahead of Bolsonaro, the Brazilian left did not obtain a significant vote for state governments and did not even win a third of the seats in the two chambers of the Congress, the Federal Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.
Lula has zero coattails, but somehow collected the most votes in round one?
The synopsis of this article is somehow all the political forces and indicators favor Bolsonaro and his party, but somehow Lula is so popular the same voters who preferred the right wing in down ticket races will vote for a Communist/Globalist. Hopefully, no one in Brazil is buying what this guy is selling.
Here’s to hoping the cheating will be blocked in Brazil on Sunday!

Right now ALL the polls show Bolsonaro winning.
