Bolsonaro’s false fraud claims involve this Brazil voting system – By AP (Al Jazeera) / Sept 6, 2022
Jair Bolsonaro says electronic voting machines in Brazil are prone to fraud, but there is no such proven record.
With Brazil’s presidential election just a month away, President Jair Bolsonaro is feeding concerns about the nation’s electronic voting system.
He has long insisted that the machines, used for a quarter-century, are prone to fraud, though he acknowledged last year that has not been proved.
Brazil’s top electoral authority says the system has been tested rigorously and some critics of Bolsonaro say he may be laying the groundwork for an attempt to cling to power if the vote doesn’t go his way – much like former US President Donald Trump, whom Bolsonaro has said he admires.
