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

President Trump highlighted the threat of cyberattacks on US elections during a prime-time speech, claiming that the nation’s election infrastructure is at risk despite not providing concrete evidence of past interference. Critics, including Democrats and election security advocates, denounced the speech as an attempt to unnecessarily alarm voters and undermine confidence in the electoral process. This move underscores ongoing partisan disputes about election integrity, raising questions about the implications for future elections and the trust in democratic institutions.
