Brazil Decides - Smooth and Efficient Elections

Election day in Brazil was smooth and efficient. This is the first election using a biometric system in which voters had their identification verified through fingerprints. The voter identification process, actual voting, and the tallying of the vote takes place electronically at the same polling station. Analyst Breno Altman, director of Opera Mundi, discusses what the panorama will be if instead of Marina Silva facing incumbent president and Workers' Party standard bearer Silma Rousseff in a second round, it is the more conservative Aecio Neves. Up until yesterday Silva was in second place in pre-election opinion polls, but was overtaken by Neves by a few percentage points. teleSUR
