Brazilian court ministers see TSE and STF errors, expect challenges but rule out annulling election

www1.folha.uol.com.br (Portuguese) —

Ministers argue annulment is unviable since the Constitution mandates elections on October Sundays, and the court plans to announce results Sunday night while addressing challenges as they arise.
