Brazil court to rule on annulling 274k Garotinho votes, may alter Rio election

Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) will decide Thursday whether to annul 274,000 votes cast for former Rio governor Garotinho, a ruling that could hand the first-round win to Douglas Ruas. The decision hinges on alleged irregularities in Garotinho's candidacy; if annulled, the electoral map in Rio de Janeiro shifts materially. The outcome is uncertain and could trigger legal appeals, but it directly affects the legitimacy of the election result.
