U.S. sending envoys to question Brazilian electoral system, officials say

The Trump administration is planning to dispatch two senior officials to Brazil to question the fairness and integrity of the country’s electoral system before the presidential election on Oct. 4, according to U.S. and Brazilian officials. The outreach is aimed at highlighting concerns ahead of the vote, with the officials expected to engage with Brazilian counterparts and related stakeholders. The move comes as Brazil braces for intense scrutiny of election processes, including claims made by political figures about transparency and voting security.
