A focused newsletter on Brazil's general election, for people watching from outside, until 25 October
Weekly
Once a week, from the first round on 4 October to the run-off on 25 October: where the polls stand, what the electoral court ruled on eligibility and disinformation, which congressional and state races could flip the majority, and what the outside press makes of it. Written for someone who does not read Portuguese and is not following the campaign day to day.
Not campaign ads, rally chants and social media posts quoted without a source, not personality profiles of candidates that carry no news, not opinion columns that argue for one side, not fraud or rigging claims that are not tied to a court filing or an official statement.
Where the news comes from: TSE, Brazil's electoral court, press releases, AP News, Brazil, Americas Quarterly, Brazil coverage, The Rio Times, Brazil Reports, politics, France 24, Brazil tag, RFI, Brazil tag.
Nobody gets this one yet. It starts when you do.
