After months of pressure against the Electoral Court, the Armed Forces remain silent on an audit of the ballot boxes.
After no errors were found in the first round and Bolsonaro performed better than expected, the military ceased its attacks on the electronic voting machines.
247 - Used by Jair Bolsonaro (PL) as an 'election watchdog' to strengthen the A coup-mongering narrative discrediting electronic voting machines.The Ministry of Defense has not commented, since October 2nd, on the oversight it conducted on the electronic voting system during the first round of elections.

Technicians from the Armed Forces conducted integrity checks on the electronic voting machines after they were closed.

They protested, questioning the security of the electronic voting machines. - and now they are quiet.
In this context of silence, a request for audit reports from the Armed Forces was sent on Friday (7) to Minister Bruno Dantas, of the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU). According to TCU members interviewed by Folha, "the military's actions in overseeing the election are subject to monitoring and possible sanctions by the court of accounts" because they involved the use of public funds.
