Nancy Pelosi Claims Republicans May Hack Voting Machines and Create โFake Countโ in Midterms
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is once again sounding alarms ahead of a major electionโthis time warning that Republicans aligned with Donald Trump could attempt to manipulate voting systems in the 2026 midterms.
In a sit-down interview with MSNBCโs Ali Vitali, the former House Speakerโlong one of Trumpโs most vocal criticsโpredicted Democratic success in the upcoming elections but cautioned supporters to stay vigilant against what she suggested could be underhanded GOP tactics.
โThere are so many things that you can do to protect the election, and they are being done, whether itโs 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,โ Pelosi said.
Pelosi, who has spent years opposing Trump and his political movement, framed her concerns as part of a broader battle over the integrity of American democracy. She has consistently accused Trump and his allies of undermining democratic normsโparticularly following the 2020 electionโand her latest comments reflect that ongoing distrust.
Her remarks come as Democrats continue to push back against Republican-led redistricting efforts and the SAVE Act, a GOP-backed bill that would require stricter voter identification. While the legislation has passed the House, it faces steep odds in the Senate.
Pelosi didnโt hold back in her assessment of Republicansโ motivations.
โPelosi accused Republicans of having โno commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way.โโ
Despite her warnings, Pelosi struck a confident tone about Democratic prospects, outlining what she sees as the partyโs core mission heading into the midterms.
โWe 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,โ she said.
The longtime Democratic leader also reflected on the partyโs future, predicting that a woman will eventually become presidentโthough she does not expect to see it herself. She credited Vice President Kamala Harris with energizing voters during the 2024 election cycle.
โShe turned out so many more people than who would have voted,โ Pelosi said.
