If it is possible to cause people to have doubt then the election system and rules need to be fixed. From what I can gather almost all US elected laws (except the partisan and some racist voter id laws) are from the 1800s.
From what I can tell I would state that Brasil has a better election system than the US. Millions voted and everything was counted in just a few hours. There seems to be a whole system to make absolutely sure the results can be trusted even when looser claim the other one cheated or votes are contested.
In the US it appears each state does their own thing. I remember "hanging chads" back in 2000, what a disaster.

The first time I saw that normalized was in 2020 and we were told to look the other way. Luckily my memory is slightly better than that of a goldfish so I remember previous elections where votes were counted until the last ballot that night
