Nation-wide Poll Workers: Heroes of the Day

NY Times rebuttal coverage of Trump’s “rigged, fraudulent election claims” flatly disputed by Trump’s own HSD branch.

Hours after Trump repeated a baseless report that a voting machine system “deleted 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide,” he was directly contradicted by a group of federal, state, and local election officials flatly declared on November 12 that the election was the most secure in American history and “there is no evidence any voting systems were compromised.”

The rebuke statement by the coordinating council overseeing the voting systems used around the country amounts to a remarkable corrective to a wave of Trump’s disinformation that he has been pushing across his Twitter feed.

The official release added: “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. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.”

That statement was distributed by HSD's Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is responsible for helping states secure the voting process, thus it comes directly from one of Trump’s own cabinet agencies, and it further isolates him in his false claims that widespread fraud that apparently has cost him the election.

The statement also comes as a previously unified Republican Party members (some but no many) are showing signs of cracking on the question of whether to keep backing the president.

Across the country, election officials have said the vote came off smoothly, with no reports of systemic fraud in any state, no sign of foreign interference in the voting infrastructure, and no hardware or software failures beyond the episodic glitches that happen in any election.

My 2 cents: So, will Trump cease in his string of lies about the election (even before the polls opened) that it was rigged and fraud and would be massive? 

Doubtful, it’s not in his nature to be proven wrong. 

Now post-election, he shows that he cannot accept any kind of criticism or defeat and more so on this massive scale. 

So, what he does or tries to do between now and January 20^th when Joe Biden is sworn into office is anyone’s guess, but in all probability whatever he does or says or tries to do will be nasty and harmful to Joe Biden and the new incoming administration – that is a given and 100% in Trump's nature, so stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by.
