Dateline Tinytown:

Election day. The counting is happening from the polling places. Anticipation and alcohol flow in the veins of most every citizen. Fireworks are ablaze, “rata tat tat tat BOOM! Honda motos racing, circling around. Horns honking, music blaring. The winners will party into the wee hours celebrating victory! The losers will also party to quell their defeat. But not to worry, Monday is an optional work day, and all city offices are closed.

How about your local?

Been bouncing back and forth between Rio and Petrópolis the last 2 weeks. Rio seems quiet in comparison to Petrópolis.

We've got 4-5 people waving flags with names and numbers of candidates in all the major intersections, workers on streets forcing pamphlets into your hands, cars with loudspeakers everywhere, and car rallies with flags and the actual candidate speaking from the back of a converted VW combi. It's been like that for 2 weeks now.

10/07/24 @bepmoht. Count yourselves lucky: at least Tinytown is one-and-done until 2026. Being a city of over 200K (over 2M, actually) with no candidate for prefeito getting over 50% yesterday, we get to do it all again on the 27th. 😕
