“The safest option in the history of the United States”. This is how a long line of senior security officials within the US authorities describe last week’s elections and thus go against President Donald Trump.

The statement from, among others, cybersecurity officials within the Ministry of National Security and politicians responsible for the vote counting goes on to state that:
“There is no evidence that any electoral system has erased or lost votes, changed votes, or that any irregularity occurred in any other way.”
“We know that there are several unfounded complaints and opportunities for misinformation about the electoral process, but we can assure you that we have the highest confidence in the security and integrity of our electoral system and you must have that,” they write.
The statement comes just hours after Christopher Krebs, director of the US-led cybersecurity agency Cisa, told Reuters he was afraid of being fired by Donald Trump. The president is said to have not appreciated the agency’s attempts to retaliate against misinformation that Trump is accused, among others, of spreading.
Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted that a voting machine manufacturer had “destroyed” 2.7 million votes, all of which went to him, and also ensured that hundreds of thousands of other Trump votes were counted to. favor of challenger Joe Biden. No evidence has been presented in this regard.
In Pennsylvania, one of the states that has targeted the fraud allegations, attorneys representing the state’s electoral general asked a federal court judge to dismiss a lawsuit by Trump’s campaign staff.
On Friday morning, Biden led with 55,000 votes in Pennsylvania, which is seen as an impregnable advantage.
In Georgia, too, Trump is suffering a severe blow. The state is very even and will not declare in favor of any candidate until after a vote count. The president’s campaign has tried to smear the result, but on Wednesday a former Republican state senator Saxby Chambliss came out and said there have been no organized attempts at voter fraud and that he supports the talker, Brad Raffensperger, also a Republican.
