Brazil runoff voting extension requests

the request from Flávio's side landed first, around 3:27 PM, naming 5 states: SP, PR, SC, MG and RS, with rain and power cuts behind it. Lula's camp went wider, listing 10 states and pointing to transport cuts, then at 4:29 PM asked for the extension to cover the whole country. São Paulo and Paraná showed up in both asks, so the overlap wasn't incidental. what each campaign wanted and when they wanted it is the whole story here, and the source frames it as Lula and Bolsonaro extending the vote.
