President Trump, who for years has sowed doubt about the security of American elections, raised claims on Thursday that the country’s voting systems are vulnerable to being “rigged and stolen,” without providing new evidence of a single fraudulent vote cast in any election. In a 25-minute primetime address from the White House’s East Room that included many baseless claims, Trump said he was declassifying intelligence documents that he said reveal “shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure.” Those include allegations of Chinese efforts to influence American elections, concerns over voting machine security, and that noncitizens are found on certain states’ voter rolls.

Election Heroes
The Public Servants Behind Every Ballot
By Jeanette Senecal and Adam Ambrogi
Every election relies on public servants willing to take on one of the most important, and increasingly demanding, jobs in American democracy.
It is no surprise that many electionline readers are election officials themselves. You arrive before dawn to prepare polling places. You answer voters’ questions with patience, test voting equipment, verify signatures, train poll workers, process registrations, and count ballots long after election headlines have faded. You adapt to changing election laws, manage increasingly complex election cycles, and remain steadfast in your commitment to serving every eligible voter.
Yet despite this essential role in election administration, election officials and poll workers are often known only when something goes wrong. Too rarely do we pause to recognize the extraordinary work that allows millions of Americans to vote safely, securely, and with confidence.
