Evangelical pastor Silas Malafaia mailed letters to voters in São Paulo and Minas Gerais endorsing Flávio Bolsonaro, Tarcísio de Freitas, and Marco Feliciano. Experts suggest the mailing may constitute illegal electoral propaganda and abuse of economic power, given the use of church resources. The development signals potential legal risk for the campaigns and highlights the intersection of religious influence and electoral politics in Brazil.
