Brazil opposition asks TSE to annul Lula win over disinformation network

Flávio Bolsonaro filed a petition with Brazil's electoral court (TSE) seeking to annul Lula's presidential victory, citing 218 false or out-of-context posts that allegedly reached 11.6 million views in 62 hours and benefited the Lula ticket. The claim is an opposition legal challenge, not a court ruling; its outcome is uncertain. This escalates post-election contestation in Brazil and could fuel political instability if the TSE takes the case seriously.
