WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Election security officials have no evidence that ballots were deleted or lost by voting systems in this month's U.S. election, two security groups said in a statement released on Thursday by the lead U.S. cybersecurity agency.

"There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised," the groups said about the Nov. 3 election won by Joe Biden, a Democrat.
