The US authorities do not believe that the elections can be influenced from abroad. Acting US Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolfe commented on the possible interference of other countries in his Twitter account.

According to him, Washington sees no signs of external influence on the voting process. The infrastructure for the elections is robust enough, Wolfe said.

On November 2, Christopher Krebs, head of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHI) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, also said that other countries have no way to interfere in the elections. The Agency for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure of the International Security Service and other American structures over the past four years have learned to neutralize threats in cyberspace “in 27 hours.”

In April 2019, United States Special Attorney Robert Mueller published a report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, which was won by Donald Trump. The report says that Moscow did interfere in the American electoral process, but the existing suspicions about the connection between the Russian side and Trump could not be confirmed. Later, a federal court in Washington ruled that the connection of the “troll factory” with the Russian authorities was also not proven.
