'Rigged!': Trump Says Denver-Based Dominion Voting Systems Ruined Election

DENVER (CBS4) -- President Donald Trump tweeted "I WON THE ELECTION," Sunday night, claiming again that Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems rigged the outcome with its ballot-counting software. Twitter quickly labeled the post with a disclaimer, stating, "Official sources called this election differently."

"Dominion is running our Election. Rigged!" Pres. Trump tweeted Sunday night.

Twitter flagged that tweet as well, stating, "This claim about election fraud is disputed."

Last week, Pres. Trump claimed Dominion Voting deleted millions of votes cast for him -- and changed more than 600,000 others.

"REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN," he tweeted.

CBS4 has made multiple attempts to interview a representative from Dominion and so far they have only shared a statement on their homepage calling the president's claims "completely false."

"DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS CATEGORICALLY DENIES FALSE ASSERTIONS ABOUT VOTE SWITCHING ISSUES WITH OUR VOTING SYSTEMS," officials stated. "VOTE DELETION/SWITCHING ASSERTIONS ARE COMPLETELY FALSE."

Company officials referred to a Joint Statement by the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA): "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

The joint statement, from the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees, called the 2020 election "the most secure in American history."

Dominion has offices in Denver and Toronto and its voting machines are used in 28 states, according to the company's website.
