> He said he told the leader he could not hack into the electronic voting system because it wasn’t connected to the internet. The lack of remote access is a major obstacle. But surely, Bolosonaro must have meant to apply a more creative "out of the box" solutions than "hack it HARDER, God damn it! Use sudo, or something". ;-) Like: hack the company building the electronic voting system. Surely, they are connected to the Internets?!

  Sounds plausible, but it’s a risky move to bring this to court without evidence.

    More accurately, the evidence being (solely) testimony. But yes, this doesn't seem to be a very strong case.

      There are also some articles claiming that he got money from a Bolsonaro ally, dunno how legit though: "The Federal Police told the Federal Supreme Court (STF) that the hacker Walter Delgatti Neto, known for having given rise to the "Vaza Jato" operation, received at least R$ 13,500 from advisors to federal deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP)." https://g1.globo.com/politica/noticia/2023/08/02/assessores-de-carla-zambelli-repassaram-ao-menos-r-135-mil-a-walter-delgatti-diz-pf.ghtml https://g1.globo.com/politica/noticia/2023/08/02/assessores-...

Like using lot's of public money to offer cheap populist assistance through loans on public banks? Or the known-but-hidden connections to certain types of associates. Or using the federal highway police to stop lot's of buses for "safety inspection" on the election day on a state that voted for the adversary. :)
