Is there evidence that voter fraud or other misconduct affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election?
On Nov. 12, a coalition of top government and industry officials with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency declared that “there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised” and that the election was “the most secure in American history.”
On Dec. 1, then-Attorney General William Barr, a Trump appointee, told the Associated Press that “we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”
On Jan. 6, 2021, a leading Democratic election lawyer, Marc Elias, noted that the Trump campaign and its allies had lost 61 of 62 legal challenges. Ballotpedia has tracked 34 lawsuits arising from the presidential contest; 29 have been resolved as of April 16. No evidence has surfaced in these cases that would change the election result.
