Trump cites potential hack of US elections in speech slammed for stoking voter fears

President Trump highlighted the vulnerability of the nation’s election infrastructure to cyberattacks during a speech, suggesting foreign interference without providing concrete evidence. Critics argue this serves to stoke voter fears and distract from other issues. The lack of proof of actual interference has drawn sharp rebuke from Democrats and election integrity advocates, who view it as an attempt to bolster Trump’s narrative without substantiation. This incident underscores the ongoing debate over election security and the role of foreign influence in U.S. politics.
