TSE’s October 4, 21:30:14 Brasília partial tally (99.37% of sections) shows Flávio 55,902,879 valid votes and Lula 53,364,273: a lead of 2,538,606, exceeding at most 1,017,764 remaining electors. This mathematically secures Flávio’s first-round plurality assuming no revisions to counted votes; it is not a final declaration. Could you resolve “Flávio Bolsonaro finish first in the first round” YES, or wait for final TSE status if required?
