  "account": "US President Donald Trump falsely claimed that 125 million people voted in India's Presidential Election. In fact, the vote in question was Brazil's election, held on October 4th. Trump used this post to criticize the length of time it takes to count votes in the United States, comparing them to the swift results in Brazil. He mentioned that in cities and states like Detroit, Philadelphia, and California, results with smaller numbers often take weeks to count. Trump ended the post by labeling US voting as \"CORRUPT.\" The post came a day after Brazil's first round, where President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro advanced to a runoff. Trump claimed the results of the Brazilian vote were announced on the same day as voting, contrasting this with the weeks-long process in the US, despite the far smaller number of votes. However, the post provided no evidence to support Trump's claims about US vote counting.",
