  • The internet was flooded with false claims about voter fraud in the days following the 2020 U.S. presidential election on Nov. 3, 2020. Many of these rumors centered around a piece of software from Dominion Voting Systems. We've addressed a few of these rumors in a previous article, but the most prevalent claim, and one that was spread by U.S. President Donald Trump himself on Nov. 12, 2020, was that Dominion software had deleted 2.7 million votes that had been cast for the incumbent: There is no truth to this claim. On Nov. 12, 2020, a coalition of federal and state officials, including members of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED), released a statement calling the 2020 election the most secure in American history. The statement went on to specifically address Trump's false claim about votes being deleted, writing that there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised. Here is the statement in full: Trump did not provide any evidence to support his false claim that 2.7 million votes were deleted by Dominion Software, but he did tag Channel Rion and One American News Network (OAN), a far-right web publisher that recently reported on these unsubstantiated claims. The OAN segment (which was archived by Mediate) claimed that an unaudited analysis of data obtained from Edison Research found that Dominion Voting Systems switched as many as 435,000 votes from President Trump to Joe Biden and that another 2.7 million Trump votes appear to have been deleted by Dominion. Edison Research President Larry Rosin, however, disputed these claims. In a statement to the The Dispatch Fact Check, Rosin said: Edison Research created no such report and we are not aware of any voter fraud. A spokesperson for Dominion Voting Systems issued a similar statement to the Denver Post: Dominion Voting Systems categorically denies any claims about any vote switching or alleged software issues with our voting systems. Our systems continue to reliably and accurately count ballots, and state and local election authorities have publicly confirmed the integrity of the process. (en)
