Bolsonaro said that with physical ballots he wouldn't have questions about the voting system, and that the military should watch the voting process. "Accepting proposals from the Armed Forces, the chances of fraud are close to zero. If you have a security system for your home, will you accept it or not? Why don't other countries adopt this system? Can we no longer question? […] Where will this authoritarian escalation go? […] Clean and transparent elections should not be questioned anywhere. How much do I trust from 0 to 10 in the polls? I trust '10' in Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, France, which is the vote on paper. For the rest, we have to be concerned. […] I initially supported the electronic vote, then the printed vote. […] Parliamentarians like Simone Tebet, Roberto Requião, Ciro Gomes have already defended a printed vote. Now, am I wrong? I want transparency" said the President.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metropoles.com/brasil/eleicoes-2022/bolsonaro-volta-a-questionar-seguranca-da-urna-escalada-autoritaria|title=Bolsonaro volta a questionar segurança da urna: “Escalada autoritária”|publisher=Metrópoles|date=September 6, 2022|language=pt}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/noticias-d042b05ba18de9765185ac3b27c61967|publisher=AP News|date=September 6, 2022|language=es|title=Bolsonaro alimenta dudas sobre sistema electoral brasileño}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2021/08/06/610d554ae4d4d8440b8b462a.html|title=Bolsonaro denuncia "fraude" en el voto electrónico de cara a las elecciones de 2022|date=September 6, 2022|publisher=El Mundo|language=es}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/america/america-latina/2021/08/03/bolsonaro-insistio-en-que-el-voto-electronico-hara-que-brasil-siga-el-rumbo-de-venezuela-y-argentina/|title=Bolsonaro insistió en que el voto electrónico hará que Brasil siga el rumbo de Venezuela y Argentina|date=August 3, 2022|language=es|publisher=Infobae}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/desaconsejan-el-voto-electronico-y-plantean-que-corte-electoral-debe-acelerar-resultados-202210175034|title=Investigación desaconseja el voto electrónico y plantea que Corte Electoral debe acelerar procesamiento de resultados|publisher=El Observador (Uruguay)|language=es|date=October 17, 2022}}</ref> They did the same thing to Jair Bolsonaro as to [[Keiko Fujimori]] in Peru, where they both obtained a parliamentary majority but lost the Presidency.
