Nancy Pelosi Claims Republicans May Hack Voting Machines and Create 'Fake Count' in Midterms: 'Be On Guard'

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) shared concerns this week about the upcoming midterms as she told voters to be “on guard” against voting machines being hacked and people creating a “false count” for elections. In a sit-down interview this week with MS NOW’s Ali Vitali, Pelosi predicted big wins for Democrats in the midterms and she also suggested Republicans could find a way to “creep into the technology” and manipulate election results.

Snippets of Pelosi and Vitali’s conversation were played on MS NOW on Monday and Tuesday and the full interview can be watched above. “There are so many things that you can do to protect the election, and they are being done, whether it’s litigation or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all of that. But in addition to that, we have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology. They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count,” Pelosi said.

The former Speaker of the House and other Democrats have pushed back against redistricting in red states and the SAVE Act, which would require voters to provide specific identification documentation to vote. The legislation has passed the House, but faces an uphill battle in the Senate. Pelosi accused Republicans of having “no commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way.”

“We have three purposes now. One is to win the midterm. Two is to make sure the elections are safe. And three, tell people what we will do when we win. That is the mission,” she said.

Be on guard for what?

Maybe tell us what we can do or tell us what is being done to prevent that from happening and safeguard our votes.

One for the democrats, another for the republicans, and a third one for the people already in office.

And I don't know what type of protections.They manage to have for the voting machines. But if you know what the code looks like, you can slip something in if you have the connection possibility.

They said two women passing candy were passing a thumb drive. Every accusation is an admission of guilt.

… d bases in a number of ways such as I.D. requirements, enrollments as registered voters, signature
matches on mail in ballots (pure bullshit), limiting voter locations and time periods, and voter caging.
Also since Hillary Clinton in 2016, Ohio’s ‘22 and ‘24 Senate Races (say hi Peter Thiel), and Harris in
‘24 you can see a nice chunk of “undervotes” where people show up to vote but skip voting for President
or Senator.

Even in states run by Democrats who will be looking for Republican cheating, will they be able to stop remote hacking? Every vote total needs to be compared to the paper ballots filled out by voters in every precinct where a Republican unexpectedly wins. Are there any honest Republicans left in red state governments who will ensure an accurate vote count?
