Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) is reviewing multiple candidacies, including those of Garotinho, Dallagnol, and Furlan, which could alter election results in Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, and Amapá. While TSE President Kassio Nunes Marques has confirmed Garotinho's votes will be counted pending a full court decision, claims suggest a plenary ruling against Garotinho could lead to a first-round victory for Ruas in Rio's mayoral race. The timing and specific outcomes of these rulings remain uncertain, but they have the potential to significantly shift political balances.

Why it matters: These rulings could invalidate election results, alter political representation in key states, and demonstrate the ongoing influence of judicial processes on Brazilian electoral outcomes.
