On a November 12 tweet, President Donald Trump pushed the baseless theory that voting systems suppressed millions of votes for him and transferred thousands of votes to his Democratic rival, President-elect Joe Biden.
No evidence of this statement has been presented.
Hours after Trump’s tweet, an organization of federal, state, and local officials overseeing the country’s voting formula said that in recent elections, “there is no evidence that a voting formula has suppressed or lost votes, altered votes, or engaged in any way. “The whole through the Government’s Electoral Infrastructure Coordination Council and the Executive Committees for the Coordination of the Electoral Infrastructure Sector called the recent vote “the safest in U. S. history. “It was made known through the federal government’s Agency for Infrastructure Security and Cybersecurity, which breaks down Homeland Security.
A company whose studies were discussed in accusations similar to Trump’s told us that it had no “evidence” of voting irregularities and had not produced any studies on the subject.
And the experts in the voting system told us that what the president suggests may simply not have been detected in the time since the November 3 election.
Trump’s can be attributed to an un nameless message on a pro-Trump ad board.

Trump did not link or quote an express report, but at the end of his tweet, he indexed OANN, the conservative newscast that is a favorite of the president, and recently N. N. N. organized a segment with allegations.
In the segment, journalist Lilia Fifield claims there was endemic vote theft related to Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems.
NNO, November 12: Electoral systems across the country have suppressed millions of votes cast for President Trump. According to an unverified investigation of knowledge received from Edison Research, states using Dominion’s voting systems may have transferred up to 435,000 votes from President Trump to Joe Biden. He also discovers that another 2. 7 million Trump votes appear to have been suppressed through Dominion, adding nearly a million Trump votes in Pennsylvania alone.
Although the report makes explosive charges, it does not provide evidence, the segment lasts only 48 seconds. It is known what knowledge is, who analyzed knowledge and who is the “author”.
We asked the NNO about your request, but we were never given an answer.
The figures discussed through Trump appear to come from conservative Gateway Pundit, citing a message from an anonymous user claiming to have conducted this analysis, about a pro-Trump named thedonald. win. Gateway Pundit, who is used to disseminating misinformation, wrote: “We haven’t verified the effects, so lately we’re labeling their effects as ‘unudited’. “
Anonymous claimed the knowledge came from Edison Research.
Something similar arose in a Facebook post through Anna Paulina Luna, who describes herself as a conservative, columnist and political commentator. The message provoked 2,700 reactions. Trump’s message has also been picked up through others on Facebook.
Trump has long warned, without evidence, of possible widespread voter fraud and, although major media outlets declared Biden the winner, the president refused to give in.
Although these statements cite a study of Edison Research data, the company stated that it “had no evidence” of voting irregularities and had produced studies on the subject. Based in New Jersey, Edison Research is a customer studies company that manages election night voting. account for the National Election Group, which includes ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and CNN.
Edison Research Spokesperson, Nov. 12: Edison Research has produced reports of voting irregularities and has no evidence of voting irregularities. The claims reported as such come from Edison Research.
Dominion Voting Systems’ apparatus had nothing to do with a replacement in the vote, Kay Stimson, his vice president of affairs, told us in an email.
Stimson, November 12: Dominion Voting Systems categorically rejects any claims related to alleged voting adjustments or software disorders with our voting systems. Our systems continue to count ballots reliably and as they should be, and the national and local electoral government has publicly demonstrated the integrity of the process.
Two voting experts told us they were aware of any evidence of the allegations of vote theft.
“I am aware of any credible evidence of any kind that Dominion Voting Systems’ generation of voters is guilty of tabulation errors or mischief on the scale alleged through the president,” said Edward Perez, global director of generational progression and open criteria for the OSET Institute. us in a phone interview. OSET is a non-profit organization that focuses on the studies and progression of voting technologies.
Is such a robbery possible?” Misconduct on such a scale is highly unlikely to go unnoticed,” Perez said. “In america, vote generation does not exist in a vacuum. There are documentation and transparency procedures that come with a wide variety of cross-checks and safeguards. It is almost absurd that, almost like a wildfire, many votes can simply be suppressed or reversed.
Gregory Miller, co-founder and chief operating officer of the institute, said that even if such a giant flight had been successful, it was for us to know by now.
“The only way to know is with a full audit of the votes and a forensic investigation of the apparatus across the country,” Miller said. elections, it’s just not possible. ‘
Perez says the genesis of the vote theft saga/ Dominion Voting Systems appears to reside in a number of cases last week that related to small-scale human error and were corrected long before they were included in the official recount.
“These savage claims of great technological damage come from a dubious point-connecting exercise that began with undeniable cases of human error in Michigan and Georgia,” he said.
We wrote about one of the cases in Shiasee County, Michigan. Here’s how we summed it up: “An error of access to knowledge that soon showed an unusually giant build-up in votes for Joe Biden in Michigan has raised suspicions online and an unfounded accusation of voter fraud. The error was reduced to a typo in a county report that was temporarily corrected. “
But all five cases in any of the states, some related to Dominion voting material, triggered conspiracy theories on right-wing social media accounts. The New York Times investigated and discovered that there was no destructive intent on any of them, and that in any case, they were all temporarily detected and corrected.
And the thing is clear: there is no credible evidence of opposing and/or repressed votes, and so federal, state and local officials have said so.
