Eleitor pode perder o voto ao apertar a tecla confirma na urna eletrônica

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says voters do not lose their vote by pressing “Confirma” while the “Confira seu voto” message is displayed. It explains that the one-second wait appears after voters enter their choices, before they can select “Confirma” or “Corrige”; the TSE said the 2024 model did not change these on-screen messages.

Folha de S.PauloElections & voting

Publicação – retuitada por Elon Musk – em que Michael Benz, ex-secretário de Donald Trump e influenciador de direita, sugere que o governo dos Estados Unidos teria interferido diretamente no resultado das eleições federais brasileiras de 2022 para favorecer o candidato eleito, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

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.
