QUESTION · ANSWERED BY THE EVIDENCE · BR-PRES-2026
Did the extension of voting hours change the 2026 result?
We do not know yet whether it could have. No collected evidence supports that the extension changed the winner, and the calculation against the final margin depends on the official count of votes recorded after 5 p.m., which is not in the collection (the site answered HTTP 403 to the automated client, and that block is not bypassed).

What is missing to answer
The calculation that would decide it is votes_after_5pm >= final_margin. The final margin is already observed; the official count of votes after 5 p.m. is missing (the site answered HTTP 403 to the automated client, and that block is not bypassed). With it, the claim becomes a derived calculation: if those votes are below the margin, the winner would be the same without them; if they reach it, the calculation does not rule out an effect, and who they went to would still be unknown.
