BRASILIA, Aug 7 — Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro ignored calls to drop his feud with the Supreme Court yesterday and called one of its justices a “son of a whore,” amid rising tensions over his unfounded claims the nation’s voting system is vulnerable to fraud.
Bolsonaro has railed for weeks against the electronic urns used in Brazil and pushed for the adoption of printed receipts that can be counted if any election result is disputed. Earlier this week the Supreme Court approved an investigation into the president’s unfounded accusations about voter fraud. The proposal is not expected to clear the lower chamber where constitutional amendments need three-fifths of the votes.
