We have already said more than once that much of the false information that circulates about the elections are old and have already been denied in other elections. Today, let's talk about a story that went viral in 2020 and is related to the elections of 2018. In recent days, messages with an image of the partial investigation by TV Globo of 2018 elections began to circulate as proof that Bolsonaro would have won in the first round. The thesis was based on the fact that the image shows Bolsonaro close to 50% with more ballots counted in the Northeast than in the Southeast. Therefore, the logic would be that, as the counting progressed, he would have more votes and win. ## Bolsonaro won the elections in the 1st round in 2018, proves partial image of the investigation? This image is a remnant of a complaint made to the TSE in 2018. At the time, the complaint was considered unfounded. > ## Ancelmo Gois wrote a text criticizing Eduardo Paes? We check In 2020, when we investigated similar content, we saw that the TSE debunked the thesis in question. As the denial of yesteryear is valid today, remember what we wrote (read carefully because it was a lot of work): This thesis, like others, spread very strongly on the internet (being even republished by Bolsonaro websites and profiles). However, it is not true that the “document proves” any fraud in electronic voting machines. Before starting, it is important to mention that this type of fake (which points out that Bolsonaro won in the 1st round) has been constant on the internet (to those who are interested discredit the electoral process?). In 2018, we denied that the same fake (justified by a thesis that the TSE annulled votes). In 2020, we denied a fake news that pointed out that the NSA had discovered the fraud on the 1st shift. As in other cases, the accusation of fraud in question is unfounded. In In reality, this “irrefutable document” has already been refuted. It is a request for investigation filed with the TSE in 2018. After internal investigations at the TSE, the complaint in question was dismissed as unfounded. In other words, this already brings down the theses that the TSE was unable to explain the supposed inconsistency in data and that they are irrefutable. In its response to the complaint deemed unfounded, the TSE pointed out that the result of the claim is 100% auditable. In other words, if there were any problems with the data, it would be “caught” in a recount of the ballots. Now, let's think: if we have 100% of a result because we will think about discrepancies in the partial disclosure. See the court's response on the matter: Due to news on social media about alleged fraud in the 2018, the TSE informs that only one request was filed with the court regarding the theme, right after the election and signed by a lawyer and an engineer. In January 2020, in an administrative decision and still under the management of Minister Rosa Weber, the General Directorate of the Court closed the procedure because the Technical reports indicated no failures. Here is a summary of the case: – The complaint was filed on October 26, 2018 by lawyer Ricardo Freire Vasconcelos and engineer Vicente Paulo de Lima about possible evidence of material divergence of data in electoral counting and transparency in the electoral process; – When analyzing the process, the Electoral Systems Coordination, area linked to the TSE Information Technology Secretariat, suggested total rejection of the request. The sector's opinion, issued on February 15, 2019 explained that, with regard to Totalization and Disclosure of Results, a Once the ballot paper has been printed by the electronic ballot box, the entire voting procedure Totalization is 100% auditable. Any possible or possible fraud in the totalization procedure would be easily detectable by checking the ballot box printed with the ballot box published by the TSE. […] – Any change in the totalization numbers or publication of results would be discovered by a simple comparison between the constant result of the PRINTED ballot papers and individualized results published in “Bullet ballot on the WEB” system. However, there was no record of divergence. This demonstrates that the counting process carried out by the ballot box electronics generates elements that make any fraud to be carried out in the totalization processes, carried out mainly in databases, and in publication of results. – After a period of analysis on the topic, the General Directorate of the TSE issued a letter, on January 28, 2020, with a summary of the entire processing of the process, ratifying the technical notes prepared by the technical units and rejecting the complaint made in October 2018, informing that the disclosure of the evolution of results has no impact on the final result, since the final result is defined by the situation imposed by the ballot boxes and materialized by the ballot papers. It is important to mention two more points. One of them is that the TSE itself pointed out that the data used in the complaint are not necessarily official data from the court. This occurred because the results disclosure system did not managed to withstand the large number of hits in the first hours of the calculation. It forced some companies to do manual collection. In other words: they are given to media and not the TSE. See what was said about it: This caused instabilities that prevented correct access to data from the Electoral Justice. The difficulty in accessing Electoral Court data was claimed by several news agencies. Due to this occurrence, no broadcaster had data with complete coherence in real time. It is concluded that the percentage divergences pointed out at the beginning of the complaint are the result of a erroneous data collection, and not due to problems with the Electoral Court. The second point is that the complaint ignores some details. As we look for time reality of the first round of the 2018 elections, we can see that (even taking into account media data), states in the Southern Region were the first to all polls were counted and states in the Northeast region were the last. This article that showed the real time of the elections points out the following partial of ballot boxes counted when Bolsonaro had 49% of the votes: “Percentage of ballot boxes counted by region in the presidential race Northeast – 49.54%, Central-West – 78.65%, North – 60.81%, Southeast – 64.38% and South – 88.75%”. In other words: in this moment, Northeast (region in which Bolsonaro had the lowest percentage of votes) was the one with the lowest percentage of ballots counted and the South (region in which Bolsonaro had the highest percentage) was the one with the highest percentage of ballot boxes cleared. It is important to mention that Bolsonaro won in 23 capitals and 17 states (counting capitals and interior). Taking into account that the investigation in the capitals is more quickly, it is also possible to point out that the “drop” in the president’s percentage (which had fewer votes in cities in the interior, mainly in the Northeast) is explainable. It is important to mention that, when looking, for example, for counting the vote of the first round of 2014 (in which Dilma Rousseff had more strength in Northeast), we can see a “drop” in the percentage of Aécio Neves (with more votes in the South, Southeast and Central-West regions) in the final result in relation the partials shown in real-time coverage. Passing the ruler on history: 1) The complaint that is circulating as a “irrefutable document” has already been refuted by the TSE. 2) There is not much logic in question a final result based (and even projection of results) on partial. 3) The data used in the complaint is not “TSE official” but rather of the media. 4) Even using media data, we can see that the Bolsonaro’s “percentage drop” during the election was natural. In short: the information that indicates that an image of the partial investigation is false of the 2018 elections is proof that Bolsonaro won in the first round. Even refuted, the story is still being used as fuel to attack electronic voting machines. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.
