The military did an audit.
They have validated the result. Even though it is not their mandate to oversee elected officials. Including supreme court judges, two of them having been appointed by Bolsonaro.

And yet that idiot is in the pure line of Bolsheviks and German Spartacists or bolsheviks in seizing places of exercise of democracy and proclaiming the illegiimacy of the government.
That poor imbecil is just a tool. and has all the attributes of communists.

Brazil military blocks Lula from arresting protesters.
In case of a pay wall.
BRASÍLIA — As security forces cleared supporters of defeated former president Jair Bolsonaro from Brazil’s Congress, presidential palace and Supreme Court last Sunday, the insurrectionists retreated to a place they had made their sanctuary: the lawn outside the national headquarters of the army.
The bolsonaristas had camped on the sprawling green space since the right-wing leader’s October election loss to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. They, like Bolsonaro himself, refused to recognize Lula’s victory, even after the leftist was sworn in Jan. 1. For weeks, they had called on the military to stage a coup to keep Bolsonaro in power.

It was an idea that observers in and out of Brazil saw as far-fetched. But when top Lula administration officials arrived at the army headquarters Sunday night with the aim of securing the detention of insurrectionists at the camp, they were confronted with tanks and three lines of military personnel.
“You are not going to arrest people here,” Brazil’s senior army commander, Gen. Júlio César de Arruda, told new Justice Minister Flávio Dino, according to two officials who were present.

Brazil' s military, although evidently closer to one of its former officers, enforced the rule of law though: 1500 rioters arrested according to WSJ.
Brazil is not as sturdy as the USA in its institutions but it looks like it held as well against a mob of offended bums.
