The claim that it is the most secure in history is very trumpian in nature. There were a lot unique challenges this year that impacted the integrity of the election. I don't see why he couldn't have made the weaker claim that there is no evidence that electoral fraud changed the result.
- loopz 6y agoHe can back up the assertion based on technicalities. It's all relative to earlier elections. Anyways, it's not possible to respond to Trump without being dragged down into the mud.
- benmmurphy 6y agoLarge scale absentee of mail in voting increases the opportunity for coercion and vote buying both which undermine the integrity of an election. The increase security from technical controls (more RLA, less DRE, etc) could be outweighed from the fundamental problems non-secret voting brings to the table. I don't think it is clear whether one outweighs the other and I think its optimistic to claim that this is the most secure election in history.
