RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation about the US presidential election 2020, which Russian TV channel amplified uncritically.

After Trump’s tweet, a group of federal, state and local officials overseeing the nation’s voting system said that in the recent election, “there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” The joint statement, by the Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees, described the recent voting as “the most secure in American history.” The statement was distributed by the federal government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.
