Brazil's Bolsonaro loses major vote after military display

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has suffered a major defeat in Congress as lawmakers didn't adopt his proposal to require printed receipts from some electronic ballot boxes

BRASILIA, Brazil -- President Jair Bolsonaro suffered a major defeat in Congress when Brazilian lawmakers didn't adopt his proposal to require printed receipts from some electronic ballot boxes. Bolsonaro has insisted printed receipts are needed to avoid fraud, without providing any evidence that Brazil’s electronic voting system is prone to cheating. His allies needed 308 votes to pass the proposed constitutional change, but got only 229 Tuesday night. The opposition, however, also fell short of its goal of rebuffing the president with an overwhelming majority, but got only 218 votes. Earlier in the day, dozens of military vehicles and hundreds of soldiers paraded past the presidential palace as Bolsonaro looked on, then continued past the congressional building and Defense Ministry. The military vehicles left the city at night.
