It is interesting how those who are chummy with Putin have issues with vote outcomes when they lose.
article said:The scale of Bolsonaro's loss, with the senator trailing Lula by over 4 million votes, makes it unlikely his efforts to annul the vote will succeed, analysts said.
His petition is also undermined by the fact that his campaign also sought a voting extension due to heavy rains in the conservative-leaning south.
Still, Bolsonaro's refusal to concede could spark a wave of protests in a country where faith in the electoral system, and in judicial independence, has been strained in recent years, observers say.
