Fact check: Is the US government currently investigating the 2025 election for tampering, rigging, and or fraud?

1. Summary of the results

There are currently no official U.S. government investigations into election tampering, rigging, or fraud regarding the 2024/2025 elections ^[1]. While some election integrity groups, specifically the Election Truth Alliance and SMART Elections, have raised concerns about voting irregularities in Nevada and other swing states, these claims remain purely speculative and are not being investigated at the federal level ^[1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual points need to be considered:

• Election officials from multiple swing states (North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania) have explicitly denied any possibility of election tampering ^[2]
• The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director, Jen Easterly, has confirmed there is no evidence of malicious activity affecting election infrastructure ^[2]
• While there were some security concerns during the election, they were related to Russian email domains making bomb threats, not election tampering ^[3]
• Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted the election results and encouraged her supporters to do the same ^[4]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question itself may reflect broader misinformation trends:

• The question assumes there might be ongoing investigations, when in fact no Democratic lawmakers or election officials have promoted claims of election rigging ^[4]
• While conspiracy theories circulate on social media ^[4], it's notable that under the Trump administration, the Department of Justice and FBI are unlikely to investigate allegations of vote rigging at the federal level ^[1]
• The timing of the question ^[5] suggests potential confusion between post-election concerns and actual investigations, as most sources discuss the 2024 election period

Those who benefit from promoting election fraud narratives often include:

• Political groups seeking to delegitimize election results
• Social media personalities and alternative news outlets gaining engagement from conspiracy content
• Election integrity groups like Election Truth Alliance and SMART Elections who gain prominence through these discussions
