	POLITICS-BRAZIL: Local Elections, a Source of Pride - and Shame By Mario Osava (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Brazil has become a world leader in electronic voting systems, and has even begun to export or loan its machines to other countries in Latin America and Africa.
		Holding an election in Brazil is a gargantuan task, given the massive number of voters and the vast size of the country (almost 8.6 million square kilometres).

Bush to assume the presidency without actually winning the popular vote.

		Whereas Americans see political careers as a treadmill, moving up from city council to state legislature to an office in Washington, Brazilians are less inclined to make the same journey.
