DHS panel says 2020 vote was 'most secure in American history'

Source: FCW

An election security team led by a senior Department of Homeland Security official stressed in a Nov. 12 press release that the 2020 general election "was the most secure in American history."

In bold type, the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council, a team working under the aegis of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at DHS, stated that, "[t]here is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

The statement directly contradicts the most recent in a raft of conspiracy theories put forth by President Donald Trump stating that a voting machine vendor secretly changed votes. This and other claims by Trump have been tagged as "disputed" under a new policy by Twitter to point to potential election misinformation.

I'm hyper concerned how it worked in favor of the reelections of Tillis, Ernst, Collins.

The only reason we won is because the turnout was so high that it swamped those other efforts. If this had been a normal election, such as one would find in a real democracy, Biden's margin of victory would have been much larger.
