Original review summary

The review says Michael Benz’s post used excerpts from Financial Times and Reuters reports out of context to claim that U.S.-built voting machines were for pro-Lula authorities. It reports that Brazil’s electoral authority said the machines used in the 2022 general elections were manufactured in Brazil by Positivo Tecnologia.[S1]
