On Wednesday during a high level cabinet meeting, Tulsi Gabbard declared that there is now positive pro0of that the voting machines can be manipulated to steal elections. This is new evidence which is just now coming to light. Gabbard gave a detailed update on her sweeping investigations into the politicization of intelligence and election interference.
Gabbard said:
“I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them.”
“We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections.”
Last year, some of the world’s top hackers convened in Las Vegas for the annual DEF CON conference, in which they revealed the weaknesses in the machines which many believe has been intentional since the always favor the Democrats. From Friday and through Saturday hackers tested the machines andn came up with a long list of vulnerabilities. Harri Hursti, co-founder of Voting Village, said that the list of vulnerabilities was long on consistant in what has been observed in recent elections.
Hursti said:

Scott Algeier, executive director of the Information Technology-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (IT-ISAC), emphasized that fixing vulnerabilities is not a quick process:
“Even if you find a vulnerability next week in a piece of modern equipment that’s deployed in the field, there’s a challenge in getting the patch and getting the fix out to the state and local elections officials and onto the equipment before the November election.”
“It’s not a 90-day fix, It’s not a Microsoft every Tuesday, issue your patch and everything works fine. It’s a pretty complicated process.”
This is not the first time Def Con hackers were able to penetrate vulnerable voting machines used in the US today.
In July 2017, the DEF CON hackers made quick work of the voting machines. Hackers were given the rare chance to crack into US voting machines. It took one person just 90 minutes to hack in and vote remotely on one of the machines.

In 2019, at the DEF CON conference in Las Vegas, NBC News’ technology correspondent Jacob Ward provided an in-depth look at how easily hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in voting systems.
This is not the first time we have heard about election machine vulnerabilities.
In 2023, University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Halderman, revealed in a Georgia courtroom that Dominion Voting Systems were vulnerable to hacks.
His report confirmed that votes can be altered in the Dominion voting machines. In fact, the report reveals that the Dominion software is vulnerable and can be hacked.
Professor Halderman wrote in his report:
We discovered vulnerabilities in nearly every part of the system that is exposed to potential attackers. The most critical problem we found is an arbitrary-code-execution vulnerability that can be exploited to spread malware from a county’s central election management system (EMS) to every BMD in the jurisdiction. This makes it possible to attack the BMDs at scale, over a wide area, without needing physical access to any of them.
Our report explains how attackers could exploit the flaws we found to change votes or potentially even affect election outcomes in Georgia.
