Bolsonarists accuse STF of favoring Lula with timing

The Brazilian Supreme Court's decision to extend voting hours by two hours has sparked criticism from allies of Flávio Bolsonaro, who accuse the court of favoring Lula da Silva. Pastor Silas Malafaia claimed the PT is trying to influence the election through connections with judges. Senator Marcel van Hattem announced plans to impeach the judge responsible for the decision, citing a conflict of interest due to the judge's past as Lula's lawyer. Other Bolsonaro allies echoed concerns about judicial interference, with some expressing confidence in their electoral chances despite the controversy. The extension, unprecedented since 1994, was prompted by requests from the PT regarding transport issues in several states, leading to confusion as results began to emerge.
