Brazil's presidential runoff vote count is over halfway, with incumbent President Lula and challenger Bolsonaro continuously swapping the lead. Al Jazeera's Latin America editor, Lucia Newman, stated that it is "too early" to call the result, as a significant number of votes from Lula's strongest support base in the northeast are yet to be counted, and both camps are "extremely nervous." Newman also warned that the last-minute nationwide extension of voting hours by two hours could have consequences, as it is uncertain whether all polling stations extended for the additional two hours.
