Fact check: Did they find voting tampering in the 2024 election

Checked on June 11, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The evidence strongly indicates that no significant voting tampering occurred in the 2024 election. This is supported by multiple authoritative sources, including:

  • The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly's explicit statement confirming no evidence of malicious activity impacting election integrity [1]
  • Multiple election officials confirming "zero evidence of machines flipping votes" [2]
  • Election monitoring groups like Common Cause verifying the election's security [3]
  • The fact that Trump won the election and Harris conceded [4]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

There are several important contextual elements to consider:

  • A lawsuit has been filed regarding voting irregularities in Rockland County, NY, with a hearing scheduled for September 22, 2025 [5]
  • There were some reported concerns about Pro V&V's oversight of voting machine changes [5]
  • While some minor interference and disinformation attempts occurred, they did not materially impact the election outcome [4]
  • Statistical anomalies and missing votes were reported in some districts [5]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

Several competing narratives exist, with different groups benefiting from various interpretations:

  • A "bombshell report" claiming voting machine tampering has been circulated, particularly regarding Kamala Harris's election result [6]. This type of narrative often benefits:
  • Political groups seeking to delegitimize the election results
  • Media outlets seeking increased engagement through controversial headlines
  • The counter-narrative, supported by election officials and cybersecurity experts, emphasizes the election's security [1] [3]. This benefits:
  • Current election officials and voting system manufacturers
  • The winning candidates and their supporters
  • Government agencies responsible for election security

It's worth noting that while specific allegations exist and are being investigated through legal channels, no credible evidence of widespread tampering has been found [3].
