Brazil 2022 swing map from Electomaps

Lucas and Electomaps put together a swing map for 2022, and it comes out mostly one color. Each arrow sets the current vote against the previous presidential one. How big the arrow is tells you how far a place moved. Which color it is tells you the direction. The south and southeast are packed with the same direction, and so is a lot of the coastline that used to go to a particular candidate. The opposite color turns up in chunks of the north, and with Brazilians casting ballots from abroad. Ballots are still being counted, so those arrows have room to get longer. What the map already shows is a country that shifted as a whole, not the divided picture from four years back. Credit to Electomaps, with Lucas on the write-up.
