The priest mocks the security of the electronic ballot box at mass

Candidate for the second term in the Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais (ALMG), Deputy State Coronel Sandro (PL) has returned on his Instagram profile a video showing a priest mocking Brazil’s voting system.

According to the priest from the city of Laranjeiras in Sergipe, “It seems that the only thing that really secures the electronic ballot box, because in the rest, any intruder can get in.” He adds that the TSE should “share” the technology, because “even NASA” can’t get in.

The video of the candidate from Minas Gerais was published on July 31, but the events took place a few days earlier, on the third, during the celebration of Su Pedro and Su Paulo.

Talk about the electronic ballot box Not the time for sermons, says the narrator of the first video posted on social media, on July 22, but at the end of the liturgy, while playing some messages. Father Francisco warned the faithful that the parish had been hit by a cyberattack the day before and that, fortunately, no harm had been done.

Ballot boxes are safe

And although the priest’s video is authentic, there is no evidence of ballot box fraud, as the religious claim.
