Good on them. The US trying to export it's own expertise in undermining confidence in the electoral / democratic process is one of the worst things it could do, amongst a litany of bad things it's currently doing.

I would agree with that... Were it not for the fact Brazil uses voting machines.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about even commenting since I know nothing of Brazil's voting or electoral systems, but I do know that if the US is trying to intervene then it is most definitely not with the intention of making anything better, more fair, or more democratic.

No doubt. During Biden's presidential term, they told our president Bolsonaro to stop questioning the voting machines. Now Trump's administration is criticizing those exact same voting machines. There's no doubt that it's all politically motivated.
Having some CIA dude tell my country's president not to question the machines pretty much convinced me they were compromised though.
