afaik, the e-voting down there is more or less safe (compared to the stuff that happens in the us)

consider:

• multi party: there are 3-4 major political parties, then a dozen smaller ones. I believe all of them have auditing rights to the source code and counting process

• like all sane places in the planet, you are required to provide an id to be able to vote

• Brazil is an unstable democracy. This cycle has less around 30 years. Which means the voting process is fairly new and up to date

Voter manipulation, if you will, only happens at the psychological level. See, for example, how Lula lost his bid in the early 90s (timed media scandals, iirc)

Brazil has a fuck ton of issues. Voter fraud is not one of them.

No idea

Things are very different there

Brazil doesn't have a constitution like the American one

There is freedom of press, but not of speech as in US

Gun laws are extremely restrictive, so the populace is mostly harmless

Homicide rates are insanely high (50-60k/year). Arkancide is far more common down there (think Mexico) than anything the Clintons ever dreamed of doing (search "cachina brasil" images. It's not uncommon for whole groups of people, involved with crime, witness or otherwise, to be killed)

Hundreds of years of corruption

As brfag turned usfag I can tell what Brazil misses and will make its awakening harder: it never had harsh winters or wars to contend with. Geography is pretty stable and weather is fantastic

Armed forces are pretty small (compared) and mostly concentrated on fighting coke manufacturing in the Amazon.

I have on idea how to even start to fix Brazil. Consider this: there are recordings of the current president (Michel Temer) negotiating bribes in the official house, during off schedule meeting of a major corporation (now a cooperating witness).

>Brazil has first and foremost an intellectual problem. Close behind is a spiritual problem – too many people think evil is cool.

There is a far worse problem in my view, which is the bizarre tradition of feeling proud about yourself for taking advantage of others.

It's a corrupt society where the default expectation on any transaction is that one part will take unfair advantage of the other.
