Pelosi: 'Be on guard' for 'fake count' in midterm elections

House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned that Republicans could manipulate voting machines to “create a false count” in the upcoming midterm elections.

Pelosi told MS NOW’s Ali Vitali in an interview that aired Tuesday that the Democratic Party is working to secure this election through litigation, legislation and communication with voters.

“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,” she said, referring to Republicans.

Pelosi added that preventing such a move would be a “challenge” and said that other lawmakers from her home state of California are planning to talk with voters next week about the party’s efforts to preserve election security.

Pelosi is clearly signalling she has reason to believe (not conspiracy theories) that something REAL is going on regarding attempts to interfere with the machine count. I don't think she would be so free with her words if there wasn't something hinky going on.
I never considered it a serious threat.

The Republican Party is the “Party of Projection”. Whatever they’ve (falsely) accused the Dems of, - is exactly what they are doing. If we don’t keep on top of it, - we’re screwed!
