Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters met with President Trump in the Oval Office to discuss election security and the use of foreign-made parts in voting machines.

Trump is reportedly considering federal action to secure elections if Congress fails to pass the Save America Act.

Actor Mark Ruffalo expressed concerns regarding the vulnerability of election tallies as they are transferred from polling places to state headquarters over the internet. Ruffalo suggested that systems are susceptible to hacking, specifically mentioning Elon Musk's Starlink satellites as a potential threat vector.
