Brazil extends voting by two hours after candidates' request

Brazil's Supreme Court has extended the country's election process by two hours after both presidential candidates requested it, according to Bloomberg News. The extension follows a request from leftist President Lula da Silva, who cited "dirty tricks" and claimed voters were blocked from casting ballots after buses were taken out of service in São Paulo and other cities. His opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro, has campaigned on a return to right-wing governance, saying Brazil "cannot handle four more years of this." The runoff election is expected to be extremely close, with Lula receiving about 45 percent and Bolsonaro 47 percent in the first round on October 4. The candidates hold opposing views on climate change, social welfare, and relations with the United States.
