Brazil TSE head rules Garotinho votes counted pending plenary decision

TSE President Kassio Nunes Marques rejected Garotinho's appeal, allowing his votes to be counted in the Rio governor race until the full court rules on his candidacy registration. This reverses an earlier injunction revocation, creating uncertainty in the electoral outcome. The decision is procedural but could affect the final result if the plenary later invalidates his votes.
