edit: I should point out a kind of important fact about this, the report, from the beginning was not about auditing the recent electoral process, but to test the system itself for vulnerabilities, and this particular endeavor has proven inconclusive, here's a more serious summarizing of the report's conclusion:
- The system is complex and composed of many moving parts
- The tools provided and stipulations set by the TSE (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral, or Superior Electoral Court) made it difficult to make a complete assessment
- They made suggestions to be better able to test the system in the future
- They did found some vulnerabilities in what they call the "Compilation, digital signature and sealing of the electoral systems", which warrants better investigation
That's about it in my view.
An interesting point is that they specifically state the fact that the source code has over 17 million lines... reminds me a lot of the dominion machines, there's precisely 0 reasons for a system that's only supposed to tabulate votes having 17 million fucking lines of code....

Sorry to disappoint fellas.. our fantastic armed forces have done a great job at providing absolutely nothing, here's the skinny:
Yeah we tested the thing, but we couldn't really conclude anything because it's really hard, so here are some suggestions to make it not so hard for next time!!!
I know a lot of you were hoping the military here would bring the hammer down on the degenerates and so serve to show some idiots on your nation what's happening, not gonna happen.
I knew it wasn't gonna happen... but at the same time I didn't want to slash hopes, having hope is a good thing, until it's gone of course.
Here's a link if anyone's interested, you can put it through a translator or something if you feel like it https://www.jornaldacidadeonline.com.br/noticias/43697/urgente-finalmente-relatorio-das-forcas-armadas-e-revelado the entire report is there.
So yeah... that's that.
I didn't want to bring bad news, but there's no other way to put it.
For what's worth though, I do believe your midterms results weren't at all bad, I really feel you're in good shape, and I still have hope for the US, and as long as the US stands, civilization will not fall.
That gladdens me :)
Thank you for posting this. Even if it isn't good news. It is what it is.
Is there anyway to get the report itself translated? I don't trust any news source and would prefer to read the report myself if possible. If not, no big deal, just thought I'd ask. Since you can read Portuguese and I can't, I'll take your word for it.
Deus esteja convosco
It's a PDF, I tried putting it through a PDF translation service, but it didn't do anything, it just spitted out the first 3 pages still in portuguese 🫤, it has 63 pages , but this particular news source is of trust, they have been mercilessly attacked and almost de-platformed.
That particular article I linked doesn't have much anyway, it just says that the report is out, and that it didn't find any evidence of fraud, which is true.
I could translate the conclusion if you want, it's a couple pages long
Thank you u/LanaForge. No need to go through too much trouble. A one or two sentence translation of the conclusion would be helpful. Thanks again!
Well, basically it's what I, jokingly, put in the OP heh, but on a more serious assessment they say, in a very summarized way, that:
That's about it in my view.
An interesting point is that they specifically state the fact that the source code has over 17 million lines... reminds me a lot of the dominion machines, there's precisely 0 reasons for a system that's only supposed to tabulate votes having 17 million fucking lines of code....
I can write a simple system that displays a bunch of candidates with pictures and all (which is basically what our system does), and then tabulates all votes,, in about maybe 600, 1500 lines, if that.
Also another thing, which is kinda important to note, is that this report, from the get go, was not supposed to audit the electoral process itself, but only the system, in fact I should update the post with this
Thank you very much for this. I really appreciate it. Sounds like this whole thing was BS. How in the world could anyone, or any team of any size, go through 17 million lines of code in just a few days?
I wonder if they did this to say, "Hey, the military looked into it. They found nothing fraudulent. We're good to go. Trust the election results."
