Bolsonaro Says He’ll Trust Voting System in Brazil Election Next Year

President Jair Bolsonaro further toned down his rhetoric in an interview with a weekly Brazilian magazine, dismissing concerns that he wouldn’t accept a possible defeat in next year’s election and promising fiscal restraint in the run-up to the vote.

There’s no more reason to doubt the country’s electronic ballot system now that the military will be involved in the process, the president told Veja magazine, adding that there’s “zero chance” he would seek a coup to remain in power.
