Two election committees of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a joint statement on Thursday saying there was no evidence of voting systems being compromised, noting that the recent election "Was the most secure in American history."
"Other security measures like pre-election testing, state certification of voting equipment, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission's certification of voting equipment help to build additional confidence in the voting systems used in 2020.".
"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," the committees told the public.
CISA has set up a Rumor Control website whose goal is to debunk misinformation regarding the election.
The website addresses rumors related to bad actors changing election results, the DHS and CISA printing ballots with security measures, the election process being hacked or compromised if the results reported on election night change over the following days, defaced election websites resulting in a compromised election, and voter registration database leaks, among many others.
