[00:00:00] glued the number three with glue and then the number three could
[00:00:03] not be clicked, that ballot box was replaced
[00:00:07] and now it's already normal, no vote was
[00:00:11] a maintenance issue, which is taking care of the lost, as soon as this problem was seen, it was reported, the ballot box was
[00:00:14] replaced, so it was a very different day
[00:00:18] from what we've been seeing in recent years, with many queues,
[00:00:22] few occurrences here in the state, you see?
[00:00:25] There was also money seized, but that was at the beginning of the weekend with a
[00:00:29] federal deputy. a candidate for federal deputy, right, it was in the
[00:00:33] interior of the state too, they are investigating if it was for payment of
[00:00:36] some voter, so in fact this investigation will
[00:00:40] continue during the weekend, but without major
[00:00:43] reports here in Rio Grande do Sul, so there were 13
[00:00:47] electoral irregularities, right, we had
[00:00:51] eight of other electoral crimes, but
[00:00:54] for the rest, folks, calm, we're talking about the sixth largest
[00:00:57] electoral college here...
[00:01:00] Porto Alegre has more than 1 million voters from what we can see, so
[00:01:04] the movement is already starting to decrease, people really left it
[00:01:07] until the very end of the morning, in fact throughout the
[00:01:10] entire morning we had a very high movement, now the wait
[00:01:14] is already a little shorter, of course, in the large electoral colleges
[00:01:18] we still see some queues, but we are more
[00:01:22] or less following what Brazil is registering, you see, long queues
[00:01:25] because there are many candidates there for us to vote, right, so some
[00:01:29] elderly. We noticed a lot of presence of elderly, you see, because we know
[00:01:33] that up to 70 years old voting is mandatory, but many people
[00:01:36] over 70 years old also went to the polls here in
[00:01:39] the state, for now without major
[00:01:55] us, here with us is Sul, that Rio Grande do Sul had, it had a maximum that it never re-elected,
[00:01:58] this fell in... 2022 when Eduardo Leite was
[00:02:02] re-elected, but it is also a case of a state where the
[00:02:06] government machine did not serve as a force, because the candidate precisely
[00:02:10] supported by Eduardo Leite did not have
[00:02:13] such strength, the definition should be between
[00:02:17] Luciano Zuco and Juliana Brizola, eh they are
[00:02:21] also more of a trend there, a candidate more to the left and a candidate more to
[00:02:24] the right in Rio Grande do Sul, it's curious Gustavo that you mentioned the
[00:02:28] difficulty of Gabriel, the candidate of Eduardo Leite, in getting traction in this
[00:02:31] campaign, right, there was a very consistent criticism of
[00:02:35] Eduardo Leite's stance, because it was expected that he would resign
[00:02:38] from the government to allow Gabriel to dispute the re-election
[00:02:42] in office, which would give him the condition to operate the machine from a political
[00:02:46] point of view, dialogue, make a better communication with the voter from the
[00:02:49] beginning of the year, favoring his arrival now in the final stretch of the
[00:02:53] elections, as he did not have this opportunity, Eduardo Leite, insofar
[00:02:57] as he was not chosen as a presidential candidate by his party, decided to fulfill
[00:03:00] his mandate until the end, so he did not distance himself, did not take a leave of absence, nor did he
[00:03:04] resign from office, as he did in 22, right, he resigned, you said he was re-elected, but
[00:03:08] he resigned and then came back to run, he was a re-candidate, right, it was
[00:03:11] not a re-election, but the difficulty of getting
[00:03:15] an alternative candidate to the poles, right, we had
[00:03:18] there the PT making some concessions, launching Juliana
[00:03:22] Brizola who is from the PDT eh taking the candidacy of
[00:03:26] EDG Preto out of the way who ended up being vice in the ticket, but it was a political
[00:03:29] movement of... recognition that polarization would perhaps punish the
[00:03:32] PT in the state, Juliana had a good performance apparently, but insufficient to
[00:03:36] face the right-wing candidate, Luciano Zuco who was very strong, especially in the
[00:03:39] interior, he managed to articulate all, not only the PL but the
[00:03:43] parties that from the center-right are almost all aligned
[00:03:47] with his project and in this movement that you have a
[00:03:50] very strong candidate from the right, another candidate, another
[00:03:53] very strong candidate from the
[00:03:56] dynamics of the city, but progressive left field eh Gabriel was left without political space. the political
[00:04:00] center in general, not only in Brazil, but in Rio Grande do Sul too, so I think in
[00:04:04] my assessment, Gustavo, the main
[00:04:07] obstacle for Gabriel to break this polarization was the fact that he did not have
[00:04:11] the administrative machine available as governor to anticipate the gubernatorial
[00:04:14] election campaign, if you don't position yourself quickly, the poles
[00:04:17] will take over, he had very little time to show service as
[00:04:21] vice-governor, as governor in office he would have had more chances to have
[00:04:24] visibility, exposure, to have a greater electoral recall, the electoral
[00:04:28] campaign is very short for governor. People discuss the presidency a lot,
[00:04:32] national issues and will look in the last week practically at the state
[00:04:36] government, at this time when you will look at the definition of the vote for
[00:04:39] state governments, it is important that you have familiarity with the names of the
[00:04:42] candidates, Zuco and Juliana were very strong already,
[00:04:46] occupying their spaces, leaving a very narrow margin for another
[00:04:49] alternative like Gabriel.
[00:04:53] Zambelli was talking to us now about the campaign issues, I wanted to know
[00:04:57] from you Bruno, to what extent the memory of the flood back in
[00:05:00] 2024 still influenced the vote almost 2 years
[00:05:04] after everything that happened, this climatic issue, can it
[00:05:07] become an electoral dividing line in Rio Grande do Sul, what
[00:05:11] do you follow today? Regarding this issue throughout the campaign,
[00:05:15] look, what we perceive there in Rio Grande do Sul is that the government of Eduardo
[00:05:19] Leite is, he has an interesting characteristic, a little
[00:05:22] similar to what happens there in Minas Gerais that we were talking about,
[00:05:25] these are governments that have more approval than
[00:05:28] disapproval, but this approval is very
[00:05:32] regular, it doesn't, when you look at the excellent and good
[00:05:35] ratings, they are lower than the regular rating, so it's
[00:05:39] like, people are approving, but not approving that much. So
[00:05:42] that is, it's very different, for example, from
[00:05:46] the case, eh, if we compare Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná, which
[00:05:49] have reasonably similar things, right, the
[00:05:53] candidates, the incumbent governors were going to be
[00:05:56] candidates for president of the republic, ended up staying in
[00:05:59] office and all that, when we see in Paraná, Ratinho's excellent and good
[00:06:03] ratings soar and this has helped Sandro Alex a bit
[00:06:06] in this final stretch eh for him to try to get to the second round,
[00:06:10] yesterday Quest's survey. the day before yesterday Real Time Big Data's survey, all of them
[00:06:13] pointing that there will be a second round between Moro
[00:06:17] and Sandro Alex, in the case
[00:06:20] of eh Rio Grande do Sul, perhaps this weakness
[00:06:23] that may, that will certainly also have to do
[00:06:27] with this climate crisis, right, with the way
[00:06:30] it happened, with the delay you had in providing
[00:06:34] answers to the Gaucho people after everything that
[00:06:37] happened, eh, this may have an impact.
[00:06:40] Also in this regular issue, it's not something that people say, no,
[00:06:44] I really want continuity of this Eduardo Leite
[00:06:48] government, and this directly impacts the vice-governor,
[00:06:52] Gabriel, who is the candidate for succession, right? Let's go
[00:06:55] now to São José do Rio Preto, interior of São Paulo, because there was
[00:06:59] a death there, unfortunately this election Sunday,
[00:07:03] also voting locations without power, who will update everything for
[00:07:08] reporter Maíra Oliveira, good
[00:07:11] afternoon Maíra.
[00:07:14] Good afternoon to you, good afternoon everyone, unfortunately
[00:07:18] there was a death here in the northwest Paulista region,
[00:07:22] it was in the city of Araçatuba, we have the
[00:07:25] images, a supermarket roof collapsed
[00:07:29] and a man, unfortunately lost
[00:07:32] his life, we already have an update on
[00:07:34] the name eh of the person who
[00:07:38] unfortunately died, Manuel Ferreira de Lima, 54
[00:07:41] years old. He worked at the
[00:07:44] Municipal Prefecture of Araçatuba, eh there were
[00:07:47] many injured also with the collapse
[00:07:50] of this supermarket roof, the prefecture
[00:07:54] issued a note, the prefecture said the following: the
[00:07:57] prefecture deeply regrets the loss of an employee
[00:08:01] with a long trajectory dedicated to municipal
[00:08:04] public service and expresses its solidarity with the
[00:08:08] family members, friends and colleagues at work in this moment of pain. The
[00:08:12] municipal administration also expresses solidarity with the
[00:08:16] other victims, their families, all those who
[00:08:19] were directly affected by the occurrence,
[00:08:22] informed the note. So here in the northwest
[00:08:26] Paulista region, very strong winds
[00:08:29] affecting, we have images, there are also images
[00:08:33] in Votuporanga, São Paulo, where the works of the maternal
[00:08:37] and child eh had a problem
[00:08:40] there... collapsed eh the works of the
[00:08:43] maternal and child in Votuporanga here in São José
[00:08:46] do Rio Preto some schools were left without
[00:08:49] electricity and also people are having
[00:08:53] difficulties coming to the polling stations due to
[00:08:56] the rain. Okay
[00:09:18] disputes and also bring the report you talk about, right, sometimes
[00:09:21] little attention is paid to the government, so we often see the
[00:09:25] state government, right, cases of disasters eh or
[00:09:29] related to security that sometimes people blame too much
[00:09:33] eh on the presidency, or that is, for the
[00:09:36] national executive they don't look at the state government, it ends up
[00:09:39] being more of a "I'm against the opposition, I'm against
[00:09:43] the current government, so I'll vote for the opposition
[00:09:45] that's here in the state", that happens a lot,
[00:09:49] it's very common, Gustavo, you mentioned the case of Porto Alegre, right,
[00:09:53] Porto Alegre was for me very, very emblematic, in the year of the climate tragedy
[00:09:57] eh that hit the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, Mayor
[00:10:00] Sebastião Melo was re-elected with some tranquility, right,
[00:10:04] Governor Leite's approval, as Bruno said, it
[00:10:08] didn't have significant changes. So the
[00:10:11] citizen's perception of who is responsible when there is a major
[00:10:15] climate tragedy is very diffuse, when there are economic
[00:10:18] issues, it's natural for the citizen to
[00:10:21] blame the federal government, right, more or less.
[00:10:25] It's in the citizen's head that if there's an economic crisis, the president is to
[00:10:28] blame, when there's a public safety problem, it's usually the state
[00:10:32] governor who is responsible, when there's
[00:10:36] city, it's the mayor. Now when it's an issue of this magnitude that
[00:10:40] encompasses all these points, there is federal,
[00:10:43] state and municipal responsibility,
[00:10:45] when you are going to punish some politician
[00:10:49] eventually for a very bad management result, you
[00:10:52] end up distributing this responsibility, this blame, so this
[00:10:55] pulverizes the impact. in relation to the approval of governments and
[00:10:59] voting intention for candidates, so eh, I think this question you asked
[00:11:02] goes a lot through the voter's awareness of what
[00:11:06] each subnational entity's task is, what falls to the union, what
[00:11:09] falls to the state, the federative units, what falls to the
[00:11:13] municipalities, right, this this division of
[00:11:16] tasks of caring for the citizen is very confusing in people's
[00:11:20] minds, except for these small examples I cited, public security which is very strongly
[00:11:24] linked to the state government, police, they are state police
[00:11:27] in most cases, and taking care of the city, the street,
[00:11:31] maintenance, it's a task of the municipality, economic
[00:11:34] issues fall into the lap of the federal executive, apart from these
[00:11:37] more emblematic cases, eh, when you are in the shadows, the
[00:11:41] citizen has difficulty assigning responsibility, including in
[00:11:44] voting, we have seen this in several situations where governors
[00:11:47] manage to get re-elected with good votes, despite
[00:11:51] very serious crises at the local level, now I wanted to...
[00:11:55] bring some curious information here, right, the ex-banker Daniel Vorcaro, the
[00:11:58] ex-president of the INSS, Alessandro Estefanuto voted today in
[00:12:02] Brasília, both are provisionally imprisoned and therefore
[00:12:05] maintain the right to participate in the
[00:12:08] elections. Former President Jair Bolsonaro cannot vote,
[00:12:12] he was convicted by the Supreme Federal Court to 27 years and
[00:12:15] 3 months in prison for five crimes
[00:12:18] and began serving his sentence precisely in November 2025,
[00:12:22] since March, he has been serving house arrest, the difference
[00:12:26] occurs because the constitution provides for the suspension of political rights
[00:12:29] when there is a definitive criminal conviction,
[00:12:32] provisional prisoners, that is,
[00:12:36] those who are still awaiting trial, do not have a definitive
[00:12:39] conviction, they maintain the right to vote, case of
[00:12:43] Vorcaro who remains preventively imprisoned in the
[00:12:46] 19th Military Police Battalion of the Federal
[00:12:49] District, a unit known as Papudinha. The defense
[00:12:53] requested the revocation in September.
[00:12:55] of the arrest, Estefanuto is also preventively imprisoned, the
[00:12:59] former president of the INSS was arrested in November last year
[00:13:03] in the "no discount" operation, which investigates irregular discounts on
[00:13:06] pensions and benefits. In August this year, the federal police
[00:13:10] reported having indicted Estefanuto in a new inquiry
[00:13:14] related to the case. Bruno,
[00:13:17] Vorcaro, of course, was a character in this election, despite
[00:13:21] obviously not being a candidate, but much of
[00:13:24] what... came out of the cell phone conversations, much of what came out of the
[00:13:28] corruption scheme created by him,
[00:13:31] ended up heavily influencing the voter's vote, and I ask
[00:13:35] not only in the presidential issue, not only in the
[00:13:38] presidential vote, but we can see
[00:13:42] eh in the state elections for senators
[00:13:45] eh this influence, that is, whoever was on
[00:13:49] Vorcaro's list ended up being
[00:14:06] point of view of the electoral film
[00:14:10] is that when you have the explosion of the
[00:14:13] Dark Horse operation, right, of the Dark Horse case, eh
[00:14:17] you have at that moment a loss of
[00:14:21] votes for Flávio Bolsonaro, if anyone was impacted
[00:14:24] at a first moment by the relations with Vorcaro,
[00:14:28] that someone was Flávio at that particular moment, what happened
[00:14:31] there, you realize that it was almost 10 percentage points
[00:14:35] on average in the polls that ended up leaving Flávio Bolsonaro and
[00:14:39] kind of spreading out, looking for a new owner, it went through
[00:14:43] Caiado, it went through Zema, eh Zema with the
[00:14:46] untouchables then went through Renan Santos who
[00:14:49] seemed like he was going to take off
[00:14:53] but didn't, then after some statements that
[00:14:57] frightened part of the Brazilian electorate like the atomic
[00:15:00] bomb and the invasion of the favelas, a bloodbath in the
[00:15:04] favelas, all this ended up causing even at one
[00:15:07] point Augusto Curi, right, the voters also ended up going to Augusto
[00:15:11] Curi, the fact is that on the other
[00:15:14] hand all this crisis of the Supreme Federal Court ended
[00:15:18] up falling back on
[00:15:20] the current government, because people don't
[00:15:24] differentiate much whether it's judiciary, whether it's executive, whether it's legislative,
[00:15:27] it's not the status quo, it's what's there, it's all one, it's all one,
[00:15:31] in this, in this eagerness for change, a good part
[00:15:35] of this electorate that was looking for an
[00:15:38] alternative to Flávio Bolsonaro eh and
[00:15:41] sees that a movement in the opinion polls doesn't make these
[00:15:44] candidates go up, that they grow, the person stops and thinks,
[00:15:48] says: look, maybe Flávio is not the candidate of my
[00:15:52] dreams, but he is the possible one, then you
[00:15:55] start to see for the last two weeks a movement of
[00:15:59] growth for Flávio that goes back to the beginning of the film,
[00:16:03] when before the operation, before the Dark
[00:16:06] Horse case, right, and... and Flávio arrives today in a condition
[00:16:10] of almost equality in the opinion polls with President
[00:16:13] Lula, so it had an effect, but it seems to me that this effect was not
[00:16:17] sustained and it was the sub-effects
[00:16:20] of it, such as the crisis of the Supreme Federal Court, ended
[00:16:24] up penalizing Lula more and helping Flávio
[00:16:27] Bolsonaro a little in this regard, alright, let's go now with

[00:20:12] Monday to Friday here on Record
[00:20:15] News.
[00:20:22] We're back to talk about the weather again,
[00:20:26] because a storm with strong rains and winds left at least
[00:20:29] 35,000 people without electricity. This happened in Chapecó,
[00:20:33] western Santa Catarina, but voting was fortunately not affected.
[00:20:36] Reporter Marcos Levi has the
[00:20:39] details: even with lack of electricity caused by a
[00:20:43] storm that hit Chapecó last night, voting continues
[00:20:46] normally here at the Municipal Elementary School. The
[00:20:50] lack of electricity caused the ballot box of section
[00:20:54] 203 to start operating with the equipment's internal
[00:20:57] battery. Even so, the voters can vote
[00:21:01] normally. Until 1 pm, more than
[00:21:04] 130 voters had already passed through here. According
[00:21:08] to those responsible for the place, the biggest movement was registered
[00:21:12] in the first hours of voting. And while the power supply is
[00:21:15] not normalized, the ballot box continues to operate through
[00:21:19] the internal battery since we showed Chapecó, obviously
[00:21:23] we will talk a little about Santa Catarina, but Santa Catarina is one of those elections that is
[00:21:27] a sure thing, the vote is completely to the right for both the
[00:21:31] state government and the senators, the fight is to know which of the
[00:21:35] right-wing senators will get the two seats
[00:21:38] right Zambelle it's important of course
[00:21:42] that the election in the state is very eh well
[00:21:45] biased to the right there's a doubt there about Carlos Bolsonaro right what
[00:21:48] is his chance? of winning it would actually be a result that everyone is
[00:21:52] looking at throughout Brazil one of the for senator one of the most attention-grabbing for
[00:21:56] the electorate is Carlos Bolsonaro's performance in the state because it's good
[00:22:00] to remember that he went to Santa Catarina, changed his electoral domicile, right, there are two
[00:22:03] very strong candidacies in the right-wing field there, right, that of Congresswoman
[00:22:07] Carol Detone and of Espírito Amin who is very strong, very
[00:22:10] traditional in the state eh he had difficulties campaigning there
[00:22:14] I think he ran a non-campaign right because he didn't participate in any debate, any
[00:22:18] interview he ran that campaign. relying a lot on the last name and now
[00:22:22] we will see in the final stretch if he will be able to drag the last name to
[00:22:25] take him to the federal senate, but you mentioned about the impact
[00:22:29] of climate issues, right, in a
[00:22:33] state that has a more or less decided election, but if we look
[00:22:36] at a very tight national election when you have some
[00:22:40] climatic components that affect voter turnout in a
[00:22:43] state, for example, very right-wing, you can influence the
[00:22:47] result of the national election, a very tight election. We also
[00:22:50] have rains in the state of Paraná, here in western
[00:22:54] São Paulo state, so it's always good for us to look at these details, because in a
[00:22:58] very balanced dispute, these details are where the difference that
[00:23:02] will resolve this dispute between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro should come from, there's an
[00:23:05] interesting thing, right, that we look at this
[00:23:08] candidacy of Carlos Bolsonaro
[00:23:12] and you have today four Bolsonaros
[00:23:15] running for election in this
[00:23:18] election, there's Jair Renan who is a
[00:23:24] candidate for president of the republic eh not to mention the thousands
[00:23:27] of Bolsonaros who are using the last name, right, but
[00:23:31] the fact is that at the beginning of the process it was
[00:23:35] doubted that any of them had a real chance of
[00:23:38] victory and now we are reaching the end of the process with probably
[00:23:42] the four with a great chance of being elected. So it could be
[00:23:46] a great victory for Bolsonarism if that is confirmed. If it is confirmed, it is evident
[00:23:49] that the presidential election is the one
[00:23:53] that matters most, right, for the field, but the fact is that if
[00:23:56] he gets his two sons in Santa Catarina and his wife
[00:24:00] in the federal district, Bolsonarism emerges strong from the polls in this
[00:24:04] election, not to mention the fact that André do Prado, who is a senator,
[00:24:08] possibly one of the senators elected by São Paulo, is a personal
[00:24:11] choice of Eduardo Bolsonaro, who even for some time sought to be
[00:24:15] André's alternate to eventually take the seat,
[00:24:19] so you have another member of the Bolsonaro family who isn't even
[00:24:22] in the country, but who influences the composition of the Senate, which
[00:24:26] by the way, the Senate is the focus of the Bolsonaros for
[00:24:28] 2027. Precisely, I wanted to ask you, eh,
[00:24:32] Bruno, in relation to that, because, for example, what would be Jorginho Melo's
[00:24:36] strength for him to have that distance there, he's far
[00:24:40] ahead of João Rodrigues, who is from the PSD, is it much because
[00:24:43] of his government's approval or much because of the fact that he is from
[00:24:47] the PL party, which is Bolsonaro's party, which has
[00:24:51] a strong presence there in the state, or is it a combination
[00:24:54] of these two factors, the ideological identification of the Santa
[00:24:58] Catarina voter? Look, it seems to me to be a combination of the two factors, you see,
[00:25:01] Renata, because Jorginho Melo's
[00:25:05] administration is very well evaluated in Santa Catarina. When we measure it, it
[00:25:09] exceeds 70% approval, so
[00:25:11] normally when we go to an election, the most
[00:25:15] important data we always have to look at, the beginning of everything
[00:25:19] is how the voter is seeing that electoral process,
[00:25:23] if he likes what he is experiencing, if he likes
[00:25:25] what he is experiencing, there is a natural tendency for him to keep that
[00:25:29] government and at the polls. So in the case of Santa
[00:25:33] Catarina, it already starts with that premise, second
[00:25:37] predicate there, eh, Jorginho
[00:25:40] Melo is a Bolsonaro candidate in a
[00:25:42] state that in the last election was one of the most
[00:25:46] Bolsonarist states in Brazil, which voted most for Jair Bolsonaro.
[00:25:50] in the election, so you combine that with another problem
[00:25:54] that the main candidate, João Rodrigues
[00:25:57] is from a region in western Santa Catarina that has
[00:26:01] less interlocution also with this region here of the
[00:26:04] Itajaí Valley and the capital, which is where you
[00:26:08] have the largest population in the Santa Catarina state also, so
[00:26:11] there you already have a certain imbalance because he is seen
[00:26:15] very much as a candidate from the interior, right, and you
[00:26:19] still have a third force that ends up disputing this
[00:26:22] opposition vote, which is Merísio, who is the left-wing
[00:26:26] candidate, right, so you have a decrease in
[00:26:29] a, let's say, a united opposition.
[00:26:32] opposition diluting into two candidacies and
[00:26:36] the fact that Jorginho represents a government that people
[00:26:39] have liked in Santa Catarina and João Rodrigues is
[00:26:43] curious that he competes there with Jorginho over who is Bolsonaro's best friend
[00:26:46] because João is also very close to Bolsonaro, in fact, during the pandemic he
[00:26:50] ran one of the administrations in Chapecó that was most aligned with what
[00:26:53] Bolsonaro preached nationally, but in this
[00:26:56] campaign, as Bruno said, it's very difficult to face a governor
[00:27:00] who has very positive approval.
[00:27:02] The continuity, eh, in Brazil, the institution of reelection
[00:27:06] was made for reelection, so only the ruler who is very poorly evaluated is
[00:27:10] not reelected. In Jorginho's case, it was difficult for João to
[00:27:13] put forward a Bolsonaro candidacy with a Bolsonaro
[00:27:17] candidate who is in government with the administrative machine and with good approval,
[00:27:20] so it was a difficult equation to solve, João even recognized this during
[00:27:24] his campaign. He is in the PSD, which is a large party, a more center
[00:27:28] party nationally, but which in the state is very aligned with Bolsonaro.
[00:27:32] Let's go now to another state, to Minas Gerais, to speak with reporter Regiane
[00:27:36] Moreira, who has more information about election day
[00:27:39] in Minas Gerais, a great
[00:27:42] afternoon,
[00:27:45] good afternoon to everyone who joins us, well, just now a press
[00:27:49] conference ended here at the Regional Electoral Court, with
[00:27:52] an update so far on the movement here in the state, talking
[00:27:56] about arrests, about calls to the
[00:27:59] Voter Hotline and also about other
[00:28:03] important facts about replaced ballot boxes. The first information I
[00:28:06] bring here is about the calls, there were more than
[00:28:09] 86 thousand calls to 148, the voter
[00:28:13] hotline, most of the people, 2/3, they
[00:28:16] were in doubt about where to vote and called to
[00:28:20] understand better, many people also had doubts about the
[00:28:24] justification, how the process works, what to do, and
[00:28:28] a small part about complaints about long
[00:28:31] queues, we have been following throughout the day, many people complaining
[00:28:35] about the queues here, especially because
[00:28:38] they forgot they had to vote for two senators.
[00:28:41] Well, eh, important justification also, number of
[00:28:44] ballot boxes, 118 ballot boxes were replaced until
[00:28:48] now, this represents
[00:28:50] 0.22% of the total of
[00:28:53] 55,062
[00:28:56] ballot boxes, two arrests were registered in Juiz de
[00:28:59] Fora in the Zona da Mata Mineira, eh, it's not... an electoral crime, according to what the police
[00:29:03] informed here, it wasn't an electoral crime, but the dynamic happened as
[00:29:07] follows: a man was called to replace a poll worker
[00:29:10] and his ex-partner, who had a protective order against him,
[00:29:14] arrived to vote in the same polling station,
[00:29:18] there was a disagreement between the two, they were
[00:29:21] detained. Now in Mariana yes, there was an electoral
[00:29:24] crime, a person who was distributing
[00:29:28] food to voters, so this person was also
[00:29:31] detained, which... 517 occurrences,
[00:29:34] mostly electoral propaganda were also
[00:29:37] registered here in the state, the fire department
[00:29:40] made a survey about the attendances, there were 18
[00:29:43] attendances of people who felt unwell, most of whom
[00:29:47] had falls in the sessions, nothing serious, some
[00:29:50] were taken to health units, but
[00:29:53] no worrisome information at the moment, therefore,
[00:29:57] these are the latest information here and everyone
[00:30:00] who is here now has just received an...
[00:30:02] important message because the civil defense here predicts heavy
[00:30:06] rain in our region, the weather is already very cloudy, so for
[00:30:10] those who left it to vote at the very end, right, at the last minute, they have to hurry because the
[00:30:14] weather is cloudy here in the metropolitan region of Belo
[00:30:33] something to the conversation now that Zambelli mentioned and I think it was
[00:30:37] Zambelli about the Senate election, there are 54 seats in the
[00:30:40] Senate and Bruno I wanted to ask you because normally
[00:30:44] if we look at past elections especially an election where you
[00:30:48] choose two senators the choice of senator we
[00:30:51] always left for last as a matter, eh,
[00:30:55] perhaps without so much importance in the
[00:30:57] voter's mind, but the Senate gained
[00:31:00] strength today or importance...
[00:31:03] Precisely because of the issues related to the Supreme Court.
