Brazil's Bolsonaro warns 2022 vote will be clean or canceled

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro says next year's presidential election could be cancelled unless the voting system is reformed

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday ratcheted up assertions of potential fraud in next year's presidential election, suggesting it could be canceled unless the voting system is reformed. “Either we do clean elections in Brazil, or we don't do elections at all,” he told supporters in capital, Brasilia. For weeks, Bolsonaro has insistently cast doubt on Brazil's electronic voting system, in place since 1996, by claiming elections have been marred by fraud, most recently his own in 2018. He says he should have won without a runoff. The nation's electoral tribunal last month ordered him to present any evidence of fraud, which he has yet to do. This week, Bolsonaro said during a live broadcast on social media he could reject 2022 election results if he loses.
