> Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered Sunday’s presidential runoff voting extended by two hours, after Lula’s campaign alleged that restricted public transport was keeping voters from polling stations. Lula called the situation “abominable.” Some stations may already have closed when the order came, but voting was set to continue until 7pm Brasília time.
