US government security and election officials have released a joint statement declaring that the presidential election last week “was the most secure in American history” and making clear that “there is no evidence” that voting was compromised in any way.
The statement
published by the New York Times comes after Trump and his base claim there was
high level voter fraud during the elections.
The statement
is attributed to a high-ranking official at the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security
along with several top elections officials.
In the
statement released Thursday night, officials listed the many ways in which they
said elections officials in states with close contests would recheck their counts
and add “security and resilience” to their processes.
“There is no
evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in
any way compromised,” the statement said.
“While we
know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about
the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence
in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should, too,” officials
added in their statement.
“When you have questions, turn to elections
officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.”
Trump has
filed lawsuits to prevent several key battleground states from certifying
results claiming Joe Biden stole the election from him by performing voter
fraud.
