This shouldn't need to be said at this point, but given the new Speaker's apparent beliefs, it bears repeating:

While there are weaknesses in US election infrastructure, there is simply no evidence whatsoever that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen" or that technical attacks in any way altered its outcome.

58 of my colleagues and I wrote this shortly after these nonsensical conspiracy theories began to spread two years ago. It remains as true now as it was then. https://www.mattblaze.org/papers/election2020.pdf

It is incredibly unfortunate - an existential threat to our democracy itself - that belief in baseless lies about stolen elections endures as an article of faith and political litmus test among large swaths of voters and their leaders.

There's no easy solution, but knowledge of the facts about how elections work is an essential starting point. And becoming a poll worker is an excellent way to not only serve your community, but learn a ton the mechanisms and procedures that safeguard the vote.

Ironically, the truth here is the opposite of what the conspiracy theories would have you believe. The security and integrity of US election infrastructure has improved tremendously over the last decade. There's still work to do, but inherently vulnerable touchscreen voting machines are rapidly disappearing and new, mathematically rigorous election auditing techniques have been developed to ensure the accuracy of tallies. Elections are improving, and public attention will improve them even more!
