BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro said on Wednesday he may not accept the result of a presidential election next year unless the voting system, which uses computers to record votes, is replaced with printed ballots that he favors.

"If this method continues, they're going to have problems," he said on a radio interview. "Because one side, which is our side, may not accept the result."
