President Jair Bolsonaro has ramped up his attacks on Brazil s long-established electronic voting system, suggesting he is bracing for defeat in elections next year and to fight back, analysts say.
In rhetoric that could have been taken from the playbook of his ally, Donald Trump, Bolsonaro has been sniping at electronic voting, introduced in Brazil in 1996, and advocating instead for the use of printable and auditable paper ballots in the 2022 presidential race.
