Brazil TSE Rulings Threaten Rio Governorship, Senate Seats
Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) is poised to issue rulings that could significantly alter the gubernatorial outcome in Rio de Janeiro and the composition of the Senate. The potential annulment of votes for Anthony Garotinho in Rio could lead to Douglas Ruas being declared governor, overturning the current result. Separately, the TSE is reviewing the eligibility of Deltan Dallagnol for a Senate seat in Paraná, with a ruling on his 2.9 million votes pending.
