The documents released by the White House during President Donald Trump's speech on Thursday night, in which he denounced electoral fraud in the 2020 elections, do not conclude that the elections were manipulated or that the electoral result was altered.

Trump's accusations about alleged irregularities in the 2020 elections have not been supported with evidence over these years, and the documents made public on the White House website do not allow us to conclude that Joe Biden's victory was the product of electoral fraud.

In fact, some of the documents reach the opposite conclusion: “We consider that vote counting systems would be difficult to manipulate on a scale large enough to compromise election results.”

In addition to these complaints, Trump assured during his speech that he had documents that would demonstrate that, since 2020, there had been “the largest breach of electoral data in history,” which would have allowed China to illicitly obtain the records of 220 million American voters.

The president focused his remarks on China, despite the fact that one of the reports prepared by the National Intelligence Center (NIC) concludes that the country that made the greatest efforts to influence the 2020 elections was Russia.

Another NIC report, published in 2021, determined with “high confidence” that China did not attempt to alter the election result and that its actions were limited to social media influence campaigns and public statements, without direct interference.

After the speech, Democratic Party leaders criticized the president's statements and accused them of seeking to strengthen support for the SAVE Act, an initiative that would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. The Democratic leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, stated that Trump “made a pathetic attempt to deny what we all know to be true: he lost the 2020 elections,” while the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, maintained that the president is trying to sow distrust ahead of the midterm elections.
