Brazilian #hacker says #Bolsonaro asked him to tamper with voting machine
Computer programmer Walter #Delgatti told lawmakers he met in August with then-President Bolsonaro, who asked him to discuss the idea with experts at the defense #ministry and offered to pardon him if he suffered legal consequences.
"He gave me a blank check to do what I wanted with the voting machines," Delgatti told the inquiry. "The idea was to take a machine ... so I could install my app there and show the population that it is possible to press the button for one vote and end up with another."
This is the reason why one should not use too much technology in elections but only very simple slips of paper that can be easily counted and verified.
