You mean, Lula steals election via blatant election fraud?

Very interested to learn about how they were able to overcome social-media-fueled election interference that we saw in the first round

I would imagine it’s because social media is ineffective at changing people’s votes by itself.

It is not that much of a surprise. Remember he was leading all pre-election polls. He was narrowly behind in the first round. It seems that he has more supporters in brazil but they are not as enthusiastic. So some did not show up in the first round but then when it appeared that bolsanaro might actually win his supporters decided to get off their butts and vote.
