“Older Brazilian voting machine models produced fraudulent results in 2022”
Reviewed September 22, 2026
Verdict
Not supported. Candidate shares did differ across machine models, but that alone does not establish that older machines were unidentifiable or fraudulent. Machine models are not distributed randomly across the country, so their results track regional voting patterns.
