Selon des sources de renseignements, l'armée américaine a fait un raid sur les serveurs de la société de machines de vote Scytl en Allemagne pour prouver la manipulation des élections américaines de 2020 après qu'elle ait été exposée dans le scandale du changement de vote par GreatGameIndia. Scytl a une longue histoire de fraude électorale dans différents pays, notamment en injectant des portes dérobées dans son logiciel électoral. Cette question a amené les experts à se demander pourquoi la tâche délicate du comptage des votes a été sous-traitée à une société étrangère ? Comment une entreprise espagnole en faillite, Scytl, a-t-elle pu compter les votes américains en Espagne ?

The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts.

Some states have also recently seen scanning and probing of their election-related systems, which in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company. However, we are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government. The USIC and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assess that it would be extremely difficult for someone, including a nation-state actor, to alter actual ballot counts or election results by cyber attack or intrusion. This assessment is based on the decentralized nature of our election system in this country and the number of protections state and local election officials have in place. States ensure that voting machines are not connected to the Internet, and there are numerous checks and balances as well as extensive oversight at multiple levels built into our election process.
