# Election Fact Checking Tools

I recorded that **497.294 eleitores anularam o voto para governador ao digitar “22” na urna**.

I confirmed that I am a graduate of IME‑USP and that the statement under discussion is correct; the situation at the nearby FEA is a separate matter.

```
author.graduate_institution = IME-USP
```


```
author.statement_correct = true
```


I have no new updates on the alleged electoral wrongdoing; it appears someone has already filed a complaint with the TSE, another ballot box will be charged and will be arrested for free electoral crime.

```
electoral_fraud.update_status = none
```


```
electoral_fraud.complaint_filed_to_TSE = likely
```


```
electoral_fraud.another_ballot_box_charged = true
```


```
electoral_fraud.will_be_arrested_for = "free electoral crime"
```


I recorded that the Tribunal Regional Eleitoral of Bahia (TRE‑BA), acting on a request from the PT, authorized the in‑flagrante arrest of Pablo Souza, the Secretary of Mobility of Salvador, for operating a bus fleet with a fare reduction of more than 50% on the Sunday of the second round of the presidential elections (source: https://t.co/OV7r74xevT).

On 2026-10-23 at 17:53 UTC the team pushed to get the verification service at https://t.co/pqU8Sj0l6u ready for massive use by 21:00 the same day. I decided to prioritize rapid code review and merges, and to bring in independent media to verify progress in real time.

I saw a post on 2026‑10‑22 promoting a new live fact‑checking app that runs on a phone. The user says to press play, let the app listen to a debate, and it will match each statement against official data and source links. It is branded as “SEM PARTIDO, SEM PATROCÍNIO” and the call‑to‑action is to try it tomorrow at 21:20 via https://t.co/OARWSFefqJ.

On 2026‑10‑22 I noted that Globo agreed to a petition demanding the inclusion of digital fact‑checking in the upcoming debate between Lula and Flávio, planning to integrate a digital fact‑checking system into the live broadcast.

On 2026‑10‑16 I highlighted a report that a Globo affiliate was reported to the Ministério Público do Trabalho (MPT) for coercing its employees to vote for Flávio Bolsonaro. I mentioned @heldermaldonado and @cesarcalejon1 to flag the political‑media controversy.

On 2026‑10‑09 I recorded that 497,294 voters in São Paulo entered the number “22”, which does not match any candidate and therefore each counted as an annulled (null) vote for governor.

null-votes.count = 497294

governor-candidate.number = 10

null-vote.entered-number = 22
