RIO DE JANEIRO For months, officials in Brazil and across the international community have watched President Jair Bolsonaro cast doubt on Brazils voting systems, growing increasingly worried that the far-right leader was setting the stage to dispute an election loss.
Late Wednesday, the president gave them more reason to worry. In a surprise move less than four days before the vote, Mr. Bolsonaros political party released a document that claimed, without evidence, that a group of government employees and contractors had the absolute power to manipulate election results without leaving a trace.
It was among the most significant attacks yet against Brazils election system. The party said that it reached its conclusion based on an audit of the election system it commissioned in July, and that it was releasing the information now because election officials had not sufficiently responded.
Brazils electoral authority immediately responded on Wednesday. The documents conclusions are false and dishonest, with no backing in reality and are a clear attempt to hinder and disrupt the natural course of the electoral process, the agency said in a statement. The Supreme Court said it was now investigating the presidents party for releasing the document.
The document delivered a jolt to the presidential race that already had the nation on edge. The attempt to discredit the voting systems just days before the election heightened fears that, in the face of worsening poll numbers, Mr. Bolsonaro was preparing to challenge the results of Sundays vote.

Big yikes
