In Brazil, the voting system is completely computerized. Even in the =
smallest village, citizens enter votes at ATM-like kiosks, votes are =
tabulated instantaneously, and the results are 100% accurate. Officials =
are looking at the system seeking ways to improve vote canvassing in the =
US. So, Brazil is literally showing the US how to run an election.

But, it only figures, at a time in which:

the world's top tennis player is from Brazil,
the world's top soccer team is French,
the world's top golf player is black,
and the world's top sumo wrestler is German.
