US presidential election: “no proof” of fraud according to electoral authorities

 

Several US electoral authorities said in a joint statement Thursday, more than a week after the presidential election, that they had found “no evidence” of lost or modified ballots, or of hacked voting systems.

“The November 3 election was the safest in the history of the United States,” said the local and national authorities in charge of poll security, including the cybersecurity and security agency. infrastructures (CISA), which depends on the Ministry of Homeland Security. “There is no evidence of a voting system having erased, lost or changed ballots, or having been hacked in any way,” they said in their statement.

Unfounded claims and disinformation campaigns

“Although we know that our electoral process is the subject of many baseless claims and disinformation campaigns, we can assure you that we have absolute confidence in the security and integrity of our elections,” they insist.

These claims contradict accusations of fraud by outgoing President Donald Trump and his entourage, who still refuse to acknowledge the Republican’s defeat to his Democratic rival Joe Biden, who won on Saturday. This refusal complicates the transition period for the elected president, who is due to take office on January 20, 2021.
