Rick Azevedo stated that Douglas Ruas had been elected governor of Rio de Janeiro in the first round, with just over 4 million votes, about one third of the 12 million voters in the state. He said he would continue what he called the "reign of terror" of the PL in Fluminense lands and asserted that Ruas would be yet another investigated governor who would likely not complete his term. #EleiçõesRJ #Governador #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)
Update Olivia Brasil claimed that voters in Rio de Janeiro were prevented from democratically choosing the governor and requested a second round of elections. She alleged that Douglas Ruas and Anthony Garotinho acted to disrupt the elections and that, in a decision from the TSE taken by five votes to two, Ruas was elected without popular voting. The author also stated that flyers and campaign materials associating Eduardo Paes with the numbers 13 and 22 were distributed throughout Rio. According to her, more than 200,000 voters who intended to vote for Paes had their votes annulled in the first round due to entering an incorrect number on the ballots. Olivia Brasil also stated that Eduardo Paes would appeal to the STF against the TSE's decision and would request a second round. She defended popular sovereignty and expressed support for Paes's candidacy, number 55. #DireitoDeVotar #EleiçõesRJ #SoberaniaPopular (translated)
