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

In a primetime address, President Donald Trump warned about the vulnerability of the nation’s election infrastructure to cyberattacks from foreign entities, declassifying documents to bolster his claims. Critics, including Democrats and election security advocates, slammed the speech for stoking unfounded voter fears without providing concrete evidence of actual interference or election outcomes affected by such hacks. This move highlights ongoing tensions around election security and the polarized political climate surrounding it, raising questions about the potential manipulation of public perception.
