I doubt it will happen. From what I'm reading and messages from relatives, federal police is blocking access to the voting polls in some poor areas where Lula is popular.

Futures markets favor Lula 10:1. Do you have reason to doubt the herd?

Futures markets tend to be quite awful at predicting military dictatorships, and are even quite keen on right wing fascism. Take everything with a grain of sand. Not just tonight, where the results will be announced, and Bolsonaro will protest them if he doesn't win, but even in the upcoming years.

I don't think the PRF has enough people to actually make a difference in that blockade. Having said that, these are truly dark times for our democracy.
