Brazilian here, I've been lurking since The_Donald from reddit.
- Yesterday, the President Bolsonaro's party (Partido Liberal) filed at the "Superior Electoral Court" (TSE) a request to nullify some "supposedly defective" models of the election machines.
We use different models of this SMARTMATIC machines built at 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2020.
PL has a report done by engineers from the "Technological Institute of Aeronautics" (which is millitary college) that says that models from the years of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2015 produced logs from election day that are different from the 2020 models.
I don't understand the specifics of this log problem but the report and the petition are here: https://cdn.oantagonista.com/uploads/2022/11/Representacao-URNAS-LOG-final.pdf or at this mirror: https://files.catbox.moe/36eck7.pdf
Google Translated Report: https://files.catbox.moe/0ydiax.pdf (Keep in mind that liberal and progressist here mean something different than in the US, these are the conservative parties filings)
- Meanwhile, a congressman in the lower house (Deputado Federal) Marcel van Hattem is trying to form a "Select Committee" (comissao parlamentar de inquerito) to investigate power abuse/excess from the "Federal Supreme Court" (STF) and it's branch named "Superior Electoral Court" (TSE). He is still in the process of gathering signatures to form this comittee. More info here: https://revistaoeste.com/politica/van-hattem-pede-abertura-de-cpi-para-analisar-decisoes-do-stf-e-do-tse/
Both this courts are the highest in the country (equivalent to SCOTUS) and share the same members. Unfortunately the STF is not limited to constitutional matters, but they are, by law, the only court that can do anything against a member of the Senate or the House. So they use their power to threaten any attempt to impeach one of their members and close their eyes for the corruption of Senators that support them.
- Corrupt Senators are trying to rework the impeachment law to criminalize any congressman acusation of misconduct of the STF.
Other Senators are trying to block it. More info here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1595177279436468224.html
Translation:
Are you aware of the seriousness of the silent advance of the review committee of the impeachment law, in the Senate, chaired by Lewandovsky and which makes it almost impossible to remove ministers from the STF? Today I asked Senator Rodrigo Pacheco for the Commission's report so that we could analyze it beforehand. At a time when society calls for a brake on abuses by STF ministers, with prior censorship, irregular inquiries and questioned actions in relation to Lula's election, I see another concern as an action that makes it even more difficult to impeach the president and his associates. In a bizarre inversion of the current impeachment law, the draft law that Lewandovski tries to pass silently, in fact, aims to penalize anyone who dares to ask for the investigation of STF ministers who disguise themselves as untouchables in the name of democracy. According to the approved proposal, whoever asks for the impeachment of these authorities without proof (since the investigation takes place during the course of the process) can be penalized, which would further shield the Court and the occupant of the Planalto.
- The Senator Eduardo Girão from Commitee of Transparency, Fiscalization and Governance just approved a public calling to review acusations about 2022 election fraud.

Translation: VICTORY OF BRAZIL! We approved a public hearing in the Senate about denunciations in the 2022 election. Next week we will hear from jurists, the PF, State Ministers, the STF (Mr. Moraes), an exonerated civil servant from the TSE, specialists Carlos Rocha and Cerimedo (Argentina)...Enough of secrecy in the Republic! Peace & Good
- For the laughs, the sElected President just appointed a well known porn actor to a group overseeing the transition of the "Culture Cabinet". This guy got first elected in 2018 supporting Bolsonaro but quickly jumped to the other side and became opposition, now he got his reward.
