"Gee gosh golly wiz. None of us can explain how the guy losing handily suddenly magically won the election during the historically unprecedented two hour extension that his own personal defense attorney gave him. Isn't democracy just so inexplicable sometimes?"

You know, if you had looked at media outlets such as ABC News you would have found that both candidates teams asked for extensions.

Whatever it is, it is not the Guardian. I fail to see how Slashdot can quote the Guardian for anything. It is like quoting the National Enquirer.or the Onion

So you can't (or won't) give your opinion on which newspapers we should trust, not do you present any evidence as to why we should not trust the Guardian.

Given this, is there any reason that we should take your opinion seriously?

You don't find it a bit odd that Bolsonaro defeated Lula in the election, but didn't get 50% of the vote, and then loses in the runoff? That is unprecedented in Brasil.

As David Hume showed long ago, the fact that something happened regularly in the past is not a guarantee that it will happen in the future.

Perhaps it does warrant some scrutiny.

Lula secured 51.79% of the votes compared with Bolsonaro’s 48.21%, according to Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court – about 4.4m more votes. If, according to you, this warrants scrutiny then presumably if Lula had won 48.21% and Bolsanaro 51.79% then this too would warrant scruting...
