According to the Economist Democracy Index, Brazil is a more democratic country than the USA.

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.
