Brazilian courts see no chance of Flávio Bolsonaro annulling election results

estadao.com.br (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Supreme Court and Superior Electoral Court ministers see no chance of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's request to annul the presidential election succeeding, as they recognize the official results proclaimed Sunday night. Court members note the over 4 million vote margin favoring President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and reject nullification grounds. Electoral Court President Kassio Nunes Marques stated the process remained sound, while Supreme Court President Edson Fachin issued a note affirming the result. Flávio Bolsonaro also requested extended voting hours, but ministers assessed that a related court decision caused disruption without invalidating the electoral process.
