Tearing down our democracy

Posted

To the Editor:

Last week I ignored it, but this week I can’t. Mr. Voss lies. And in doing so, he is part of the crowd who are tearing down our democracy, by destroying our faith in our votes. Yesterday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the Department of Homeland Security circulated a statement by the Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council, a group of federal, state, and local officials, declaring that the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history” and that “there is no evidence” of tampering with any voting systems. Not to mention every states’ system that protect against fraud. There are both Republican and Democrats that monitor the vote count. In every state. Trump continues to lie, and his supporters echo the lies. So sad to see our country being torn apart by this. And so sad to see a newspaper publish those lies.
