And now, any hopes of a paper trail have been permanently laid to rest.
Everything was fine when Jair Bolsonaro won, and even during the first round of this election. The logic here is crazy!
I've always defended the paper trail. I'd be defending the paper trail even if Bolsonaro had won today.
There is no contradiction here. When it comes to elections, there should be exactly zero room for doubt.
The paper trail thing has always been a myth. I say this as a Brazilian American who votes in both. The Brazilian system is far superior.
The idea was to have the best of both worlds. Electronic voting plus a paper vote that gets automatically printed and deposited into a sealed box. Fast vote counting, plus the paper votes as the ultimate source of truth.
