Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams has responded to President Donald Trump’s claims that elections in the U.S. are not secure. In a statement, Adams said that Kentucky has received no information from federal agencies to suggest that the state’s elections are not secure.

Election Security Concerns

President Trump recently gave a speech on election security, stating that elections in the U.S. fall ‘catastrophically short’ of being fair and honest. However, Adams’ statement contradicts Trump’s claims, emphasizing that Kentucky has not been given any evidence to support the idea that the state’s elections are insecure.

Another Kentucky politician, Rep. Morgan McGarvey, also spoke out about the state’s election security, saying that Kentucky ‘does elections well’ because they are not partisan. McGarvey’s comments come as the White House unveiled a website with documents related to election security, although some have criticized the release of these documents as being without context.

Sue Gordon, the principal deputy director of national intelligence in Trump’s first term, called the president’s address ‘a dangerous speech about an incredibly important topic.’ Gordon stated that the intelligence community was alarmed about foreign interference in elections during Trump’s first term, but the president scoffed at these concerns.
