Disproof
A recurring disinformation claim about fraud in the US 2020 Presidential elections, this time framed in the context of the September 2021 Duma elections, attempting to draw a parallel between the two electoral processes.
The claim about millions of disappeared votes during the US 2020 Presidential elections misinterprets the available information. PolitiFact checked this information and rate mentioned claim as “Mostly False”.
The results of the US 2020 Presidential elections are not in doubt. In its interim assessment on the conduct of the election, the OSCE finds that the contest was “competitive and well managed” (p. 1), noting that “evidence-deficient claims about election fraud” (ibid.) have been refuted by “election officials at all levels” (p. 3) and “national security agencies” (p. 11).
The coalition of election security officials (which consists of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Association of State Election Directors) concluded the election was “the most secure in American history.”
They further stated that: “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”
On the other hand, there is some information about fraud and manipulations during elections for the Russian Parliament (more information about it also providing the independent elections observers movement Golos).
