Flavio Bolsonaro will end up ahead of Lula in the first-round of voting, but will fall short of the 50% needed to win outright tonight. 🇧🇷 The run-off is October 25. Given who the voters are who voted for other candidates behind the two of them (more right-wing than left-wing), and the Right's huge night tonight, Bolsonaro be a big favorite to win. The big question is whether the pro-Lula judges on the Supreme Court, who have been *extremely* active/abusive in using their censorship and other election powers to meddle thus far, will just sit by and let Brazilian voters decide who their President will be.
