Comment They have a way to corrupt elections (Score 1) 101
I have also worked at elections in Brazil.
Governors in Brazil almost always do every kind of trick to take "advantages": take money from the taxes (steal), put their relatives and friends in government jobs, put people in government jobs in exchange to receiving comission on the person's salary. And most of the governors have what is called "parliamentary immunity", which in most cases is applied to common crimes (not only crimes regarding the public administration). Very rarely any member of the parliament is convicted for crimes in the public administration or crimes in common life. See Sarney, the president of the Senate, he had a butler in his home, which was registered as a worker in the Senate (Sarney's home is many thousands mile away from the Senate), the butler's salary was about R$12.000 (about 6,800 dollars), quite a big money. But for this and for many other corruption proved facts, Sarney was considered innocent, and he still is the president of the Senate. The butler left Sarney's house and was admitted in the Senate as a worker, because he has the "public worker" status and so can't be fired. What a shame.
Corruption is installed in every milimeter of public administration in Brazil. They always come up with innovative ways to do whatever they want.
Therefore, some people in Brazil are convinced that the electronic elections are corrupted. If the elections are not being corrupted, this is going to be the first case in the Brazilian history in which corruption has not won.
