🇧🇷 Massive celebrations across Brazil ran late into the night in celebration of President Lula's reelection to a fourth term.
In Porto Alegre, voters gathered to watch the election results, with the 80-year-old Workers' Party candidate defeating Flávio Bolsonaro by a margin of 4.4 million votes.
#Urgent Polling stations in Brazil were supposed to close at 5pm local time. The Supreme Court extended it 2 hrs because there were widespread transportation issues. Polls didn't get the word on time. The place I was reporting from closed at 5pm. Very concerning @PAdispatch
