Paes coalition challenges TSE annulment of Garotinho votes in Rio

The coalition of Eduardo Paes filed a motion with Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) to block the Superior Electoral Court's (TSE) decision to annul votes cast for Anthony Garotinho, which could alter the first-round result in Rio de Janeiro and secure Douglas Ruas' victory. The legal challenge introduces uncertainty over the final election outcome, with the STF now holding the decisive say.
