Marçal questions Lula's vote count over Bolsonaro: 'How did he achieve that?'
Brazilian influencer Pablo Marçal questioned the vote count in President Lula's reelection victory over Flávio Bolsonaro, calling the result a "mathematical disaster" without providing evidence. He claimed internal tracking showed Bolsonaro ahead by over 4 million votes. Marçal criticized Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin's decision to extend voting hours to 7 p.m. due to public transport issues, noting Zanin is Lula's former lawyer. He suggested annulling the election and extending the race by two weeks. Lula won with 51.79% of votes, a margin of 4,430,191 votes, marking the first time a candidate came from second place in the first round to win. Bolsonaro has also pledged to challenge the result legally.
