Flávio Bolsonaro Rejects Brazil Election Result and Plans Annulment Challenge

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro said on Sunday night that he did not recognize Brazil's presidential runoff result after losing to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. He said he would use his legal team to ask the courts to annul the election. The Liberal Party senator criticized Supreme Federal Court Justice Cristiano Zanin's decision to extend voting at locations where polling had remained open. Bolsonaro alleged that the extension had led to unequal treatment of voters and questioned the removal of his party's election monitors.
