Several members of the US Election Oversight Authority, including cyber experts, said in a joint statement that they had no evidence of destroyed or lost US presidential ballots. Reuters reported, citing a statement released by the US government’s cyber security agency (CISA).

“We have no evidence that the electoral system will destroy or lose electoral votes or change them in any way,” the GCC and SCC said in a statement from the electoral infrastructure authorities. “The November 3 election was the safest in American history. Right now, election officials across the country are re-examining the entire election process before the outcome is completed, “added cyber security experts.

“We know that there are many unsubstantiated complaints and opportunities for misinformation about our election process, but we can assure you that we have maximum confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should have one too,” the statement said at CISA.

Reuters recalled that CISA earned criticism from the White House in the election for launching a “rumor control” website. According to the media, the misinformation spread by President Donald Trump’s collaborators also put it right.

Trump refuses to acknowledge the results of the presidential election, in which, according to the American media, his democratic rival Joe Biden won, and repeatedly attacks the credibility of the vote. His team has also filed a number of lawsuits, some of which have already been dismissed by the courts and others are pending. However, legal experts claim that the complaints of Trump’s team basically have no chance to change the election result.

Last week’s US election has been accompanied by more turnout than any other in more than 100 years. According to statistics from The Washington Post (WP), at least 63.9 percent of all Americans with the right to vote came to the polls. According to WP, the final figure will be even higher, because in some places more votes are still being counted.
