Election Day In Brasil

I will give a rundown of Brazilian presidential candidates for anyone that truly cares, but for now I have attached a video of some of the campaign tactics used for Brazilian elections.

Today is election day and the past month has been filled with obnoxious cars blasting campaign jingles and streets filled with candidate flags and street campaigns. Hopefully the video works for you. I took it while driving in a car and it shows some of the street, the "Shopping Jardins" mall in the background and the honks and yells of campaigners that line the street. This moment was especially loud as a caravan of cars supporting one governor candidate passed through a street lined with flags and supporters of the other popular governor candidate. Lots of "thumbs downs" and dirty looks from one to the other. Try to watch it if you can. It's only 20 seconds.

I'll also try including some photos of an election gathering I visited this evening where they project results by the minute.

The screen showing election results. Everyone in red was a
supporter of Déda, a candidate for governor of the state of
Sergipe. Presidential results came in with Dilma winning 46%,
Serra with 33%, and Marina with 19%. Again, I'll give more in
depth explanations of the presidential race for anyone that cares.

Bowls of açaí seem to be a weekly ordeal. Mine on the left
has açaí, bananas, peanuts, strawberries, whipped cream,
and chocolate shavings. The one on the right has Neapolitan
ice cream, açaí, and nuts.
