Nancy Pelosi Says ‘Be On Guard’ Amid Claims of Voting Machine Hacking

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has been raising concerns among the U.S. citizens ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. In a recent interview, she warned voters to be "on guard" and stay alert about how votes are counted, cautioning that people might attempt to create a "false count" in elections.

Pelosi said there is a real risk that voting machines could be hacked or misused, potentially leading to inaccurate results. While she expressed confidence that Democrats could perform well, she also suggested that some may attempt to interfere with the election process through technology.

In a recent interview with Ali Vitali on MS NOW, Nancy Pelosi urged voters to stay alert about potential risks involving voting technology. She warned that Republicans could find a way to "creep into the technology" and manipulate election results.

While acknowledging that precautionary steps are already being taken to protect elections, including new legislation, court actions, and improved communication, Pelosi cautioned that the risk of interference remains.

"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," Pelosi said during the interview.

She continued, "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 and other Democrats have also opposed recent efforts such as redistricting in Republican-led states and the SAVE Act, which would require strict voter ID rules. Although the bill has passed the House, it is expected to face challenges in the Senate.

Further into the interview, Nancy Pelosi strongly criticized Republicans, saying they have “no commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way”. While sounding confident that Democrats could see strong results in the midterms, Pelosi warned that Republicans could rig the election.

During the interview, while Pelosi laid out the Democratic Party’s current goals, she noted that the party is focused on three main things: winning the midterm elections, keeping elections safe, and telling voters what they plan to do if they win.

"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.

During the interview, she also spoke about the future of US leadership. Pelosi said she believes a woman will eventually become president, but it may not happen in her lifetime. At 86, she reflected on recent political efforts and praised Kamala Harris for her 2024 presidential run.

"She turned out so many more people than who would have voted," Pelosi said of Harris, noting that the former vice president helped drive voter turnout and may have prevented Democrats from losing additional House seats.
