I don't agree with that. I'm curious about where a person can verify that their vote is actually the one counted? Because you can't in the US (whether by mail or in person).

Don't get me wrong, I think and individual printout would be great! And even better if you could go online (or somewhere) and verify that the vote counted was the one that you have a receipt for. I just don't think these improvements justify Bolsonaro's claims.

What claims? He basically agrees with you. An individual printout that allows one to verify that the vote matches what the machine displays, and that allows for a recount to ensure physical and digital counts match.
