BRASILIA, Aug 2 — Government supporters rallied in several Brazilian cities yesterday to call for changes in the country’s electronic voting system, which far-right President Jair Bolsonaro says is not trustworthy.
In a video projected to demonstrators in Brasilia, Bolsonaro repeated a warning that elections will not be held next year “if they are not clean and democratic.”Bolsonaro claims that the electronic urns have allowed electoral fraud, though he has failed to provide evidence of such cases. Critics say that Bolsonaro, like former US President Donald Trump, is sowing election doubts to pave the way for him not to accept defeat in 2022.
Bolsonaro supporters also held demonstrations yesterday in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s two largest cities, to back the electoral change he wants.
