"Apparently, they meet." What makes you say that, if I may ask? I noticed Globo/Folha/et al haven't reported on this despite it having been revealed in December of last year. ___ On a side note... Anyone who speaks Portuguese, I recommend the documentary "Vocação do Poder", that follows 6 electorial candidates in Rio while on the campaign trail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI8_oz6lsbE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI8_oz6lsbE For those who don't speak Portuguese, search out the documentary "Send a Bullet" which looks at crime and fraud in Brazil.

You may go to the TSE website and check every ballot's vote count and check against the printed voting report. Voters and political parties have access to the printed copies of each ballot's report, printed before the ballot leaves the voting room. I used to work at the elections and I know they do, indeed, request these reports even before the ballot even leaves the room. If you want to check a posteriori, the reports signed by everyone who worked at the voting room, plus the political parties representatives, are available at the electoral courts for anyone to check them. As no one, specially no losing political party or this very guy who claims to have tampered the vote count, has ever came with an inconsistent ballot report, I can say that apparently, this is not a kind fraud that happens. As I said, there are many problems with the current e-voting system in Brasil. The machines are closed-source, and there are no way to check the vote during the voting process. But once the reports are printed, they are as good as any paper ballot, as this report works as well as a traditional manual voting counting report. Actually, better, as we can print several copies of the report in a distributed way.
