- According to various US authorities, there were no irregularities in the US presidential elections.
- The ballots were not erased or lost, according to a joint statement issued by the US cybersecurity agency on Thursday (local time) from various security agencies.
- There is no evidence that the November 3 elections were rigged in any way.
- The current president of the United States, Donald Trump, continues to speak of massive electoral fraud.
Before the announcement on Twitter, Trump had referred to claims that Dominion software had cast 435,000 votes in various states to his ultimately victorious challenger Joe Biden. The company and the electoral authorities have already rejected it.
The rumors could have been sparked by counting issues in some Michigan and Georgia counties. In Michigan, Antrim County made last-minute adjustments to its unofficial results during the census.
A Trump Republican Party official claimed it was due to a bug in the software used. However, the authorities made it clear that this was a human error, which would also have been noticed at the latest during the mandatory final inspection. In Georgia, some counting computers had to stop due to software updates.
Paper receipts for each ballot
Trump still refuses to acknowledge Biden’s election victory and speaks of massive election fraud. Trump’s attorneys have filed lawsuits in several states but have provided no evidence of large-scale electoral fraud or errors.
In a statement from government officials, he said on Thursday: “The November 3 election was the safest in the history of the United States.” All states have paper receipts for each ballot so that each can be verified later. Georgia, where Biden was ahead with more than 14,000 votes, already ordered a recount by hand. Responsible Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was convinced the outcome will hardly change.
