Boulos (PSol) teria ultrapassado Marçal (PRTB) na mesmo hora em que Dilma (PT) e Lula (PT) viraram contra seus adversários, o que indicaria fraude nas eleições

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says Boulos overtook Marçal at 18:40, not 18:45; Dilma overtook Aécio at 19:32 in 2014, while Lula overtook Bolsonaro at 20:02 in the 2022 first round and 18:44 in the second round. It concludes the post falsely presented the three as having turned at the same time.

Urnas eletrônicas seriam uma farsa

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The review says the circulating video shows then-deputy Fernando Chiarelli speaking in November 2010 and making unsubstantiated claims about electronic voting machines. It reports that no allegation of fraud against the machines had been proven, that they can be audited, and that electronic voting was used to some extent in 34 countries in a 2023 survey.

Vídeo mostra discurso na Câmara dos Deputados de político dizendo que o sistema eleitoral brasileiro é uma fraude, que as urnas eletrônicas não são utilizadas em nenhum outro lugar do mundo e são programadas para favorecer candidatos. No início do vídeo, uma mensagem sugere que a gravação é recente e que teria sido retirada do YouTube.

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The video shows Fernando Chiarelli speaking in November 2010, not a recent speech; the review says the clip remained viewable on YouTube. He alleged that the electoral system was a fraud and that machines were prepared to determine election winners, but the review reports he provided no evidence for those claims.

Globo não quis convidar candidato para o debate

Publisher’s rating: EXPLICA

The review explains that broadcasters must invite candidates whose parties meet the legal congressional-representation threshold, while invitations to others are optional. RBS said its October 3 debate would follow that rule; the review says Camozzato’s Novo party did not meet the threshold by the July 20 deadline because its fifth congressional representative returned to the party on August 5.
