BREAKING: Flavio Bolsonaro says he will ask for Brazil’s presidential election to be annulled for tonight's historic defeat.
The opposition candidate called what happened in Brazil today "unacceptable," saying the rules were changed "in the middle of the game."
BREAKING: In an unprecedented comeback, Brazil's President Lula da Silva has defeated Flavio Bolsonaro, securing a 4th term in office.
Lula is officially the first presidential candidate in Brazil's modern democratic history to lose the first round of voting and go on to win the runoff.
Prior to the election, Lula's implied odds of victory had fallen as low as 10%.
This marks one of the most remarkable political comebacks in Brazil's history.

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.

I don't think anyone expected Brazil to be the paragon of fair elections but the personal lawyer of one of the candidates intervening to halt the vote count and re-open voting in areas only friendly to said candidate is a level of election rigging that is genuinely astounding. Lula clearly believes the United States will do nothing to prevent his illegal Marxist-Communist takeover of Brazil. @PeteHegseth you must prove him wrong.

Bolsonaro stronghold regions had already closed their polling stations. My understanding from elections past is that once the vote is finalized in the machine you can’t just turn it back on for more voting. Leftist areas did not shut off their machines or close polling stations. They were prepared. This is an attempt to steal the election.

Can DOJ ask for extra verification to ensure that 20,000 identified non-citizens don't illegally vote? A serious panel of Judges Bennett (Trump), Bumatay (Trump), and Sung (Biden) have set a super expedited schedule. Oral argument on Sunday? I might multiscreen with the Jets!

DOJ is requesting the 9th circuit make a ruling by tomorrow.
Blocks a federal judge who tried to overturn NH election law on the eve of an election. Also blocks noncitizens and nonresident students from using a student ID to vote illegally.

Federal prosecutor ’likes’ Trump legal loss
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sailaja Paidipaty’s social media habits are raising eyebrows.
Ms. Paidipaty, who works in the U.S. attorney’s office for the Northern District of California, has been hitting “like” on posts celebrating President Trump’s legal losses or praising President Biden.
In one of those instances, Ms. Paidipaty “liked” a post about a ruling halting Mr. Trump’s executive order punishing Jenner & Block, a prominent law firm, after it employed a lawyer who’d been a key member of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Mr. Trump during his first term.
“Seen, Heard & Whispered” has been told that it’s unethical for a lawyer representing the Justice Department to show approval for a ruling against an executive order issued by her top boss as DOJ was defending the policy in court.
Ms. Paidipaty also liked a post from Aaron Zelinsky, another lawyer from Mueller’s probe, when he announced his move to law firm Zuckerman Spaeder.
The Washington Times reached out to Ms. Paidipaty for comment.

VA's Congressional Dist. 1 race [incumbent Whitman (R) vs. challenger Shannon (D)] leads all districts in ballots cast so far in the 45-day early voting stretch. As usual, Fairfax county area districts (11, 10, 8) have the most mail-in ballots "still out."
VA Early Voting Tallies for Congressional Districts as of 10/21 are only slightly behind 2024 tallies at same time. Fairfax County-area districts (11, 10, 8) have the most mail ballots still out.

NEW: Per federal indictment against her, DOJ has Virginia Senate Pro Tempore Louise Lucas on a phone call telling an unindicted co-conspirator:
“This is our last chance at generational wealth…I’ve got too old to not be greedy”.

California uses the SAVE system to check citizenship status for Medi-Cal benefits. It could easily do the same for its voter rolls. It’s refusing. Why?
A social media post by Los Angeles’ top federal prosecutor is drawing new attention to how voter citizenship is verified in the state, as the U.S. Department of Justice escalates its election-related legal fight with California. nbcmontana.com/news/nation-w…

Breaking: Trump administration files motion asking for federal Judge Carter to rule by noon Thursday in case of 20k alleged non-citizen ballots.
"This is an emergency. Every minute of processing that occurs without segregating the ballots of suspected non-eligible voters causes untraceable disenfranchisement and dilution of the votes of United States citizens."
"United States respectfully requests this Court rule on its emergency ex parte application for temporary restraining order to preserve the
status quo and prevent dilution of votes by noon on October 22, 2026."

Breaking: The intensifying voter fraud case between Trump Admin & CA was initially assigned to a Trump appointed judge, Holcomb -- but it was just transferred to another judge: Clinton appointed Judge David Carter. Carter previously ruled in favor of CA by throwing out the case in which Feds were seeking CA voter roll.
After somebody finally checked Wedgewood's fake data, they now want us to believe their fake polling wasn't intended to deceive -- even as most of the media outlets eagerly added its deception to their already one-sided, over-sampled "averages."
Fox News: @WedgewoodPolls, which consistently showed Democrats outperforming, often in places where that would have been a surprise, admits to being completely fake.
Their numbers had been cited by the NYT, MSNBC, & other progressive media.
"Our fabricated numbers were given instant credibility across national media platforms," Wedgewood said, "including being cited on air and in reporting."
