On Thursday, US electoral authorities denied there was evidence of missing or modified votes, or defects in electoral systems during the presidential elections.
These local and national authorities in charge of election security, including the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said in a joint statement contradicting the claims of Republicans and the White House, that “the 3 November were the safest in US history. ” He added that “there is no evidence that any electoral system has been eliminated, lost or modified votes, or has been compromised in any way.”
“Although we know that our electoral process is the subject of many unfounded complaints and disinformation campaigns, we can assure you that we have absolute confidence in the security and integrity of our elections.”
Hours after electoral authorities denied it, outgoing US President Donald Trump tweeted on Twitter saying that a voting system called “Dominion” had “erased” 2.7 million votes cast in his favor across the country. and that he had converted hundreds of thousands of votes. His Democratic rival, Joe Biden in Pennsylvania and other states.
However, the electoral authorities of the state of Pennsylvania and the company responsible for that system denied this information.
According to the US media, Trump is considering firing the Infrastructure Security and Cybersecurity Agency, Chris Krebs, who has dismissed the fraud charges questioning Biden’s victory.
Trump still refuses to acknowledge his defeat, in a historic break with American political traditions, which would complicate the transition period for Biden, who is supposed to take office on January 20, 2021.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday accused Republicans of “poisoning” democracy by refusing to acknowledge Biden’s victory over Trump. “Republicans in Congress deliberately cast doubt on our elections because they fear Donald Trump,” the senator said during a press conference in Washington.
