The head of Brazils electoral court has rejected a complaint from President Jair Bolsonaros allies to challenge the presidential election, the incumbent lost by a small margin.
. . .
Alexandre de Moraes, who also serves as a Supreme Court justice, fined the parties in Mr Bolsonaros coalition 22.9 million reais ($6.35 million) for what the court described as bad faith litigation, a court document showed.
On Tuesday, Mr Bolsonaros Liberal Party (PL) filed a complaint to challenge the outcome of the election claiming some of the electronic voting machines were flawed and those votes should be invalidated, an argument that election authorities met with skepticism.
In the ruling, Mr Moraes described the challenge as offensive to democratic norms, adding that it sought to encourage criminal and anti-democratic movements.
