Remember the slogan “Stop the Steal”? We’ve seen this movie before. The Brazilian people deserve free, fair, and transparent elections, with results they can trust. Any allegations of irregularities should be thoroughly and independently investigated. Democracy means nothing without election integrity and accountability. Brazil deserves answers, not excuses!
Imagine the Supreme Court stopping the count after polls close and ordering polls reopen for two hours ONLY in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Atlanta, and you sort of get the scope of what's currently happening in Brazil.
When an election has been decided and the winner has been declared, the losing candidate must concede and accept the results of the election. Otherwise, if he does not do that, he will be accused of being an election denier.
