BOLSONARO JR LOSES BY 4.4 MILLION VOTES, DEMANDS RECOUNT OF REALITY
Flávio Bolsonaro has lost Brazil's presidential election to Lula by 51.79% to 48.21% – some 4.4 million votes – and, keeping it in the family, refused to concede and asked for the result to be annulled. Lula called it 'a defeat for denialism', which is going to be a tough one to deny. A request for best-of-three presumably follows.

Lula beat Flávio Bolsonaro by 51.79% to 48.21%, a margin of about 4.4m votes; Bolsonaro refused to concede and asked for the result to be annulled; Lula said 'This election was a defeat for denialism'.
