When President Biden won the 2020 election, the Left ridiculed anyone who questioned the security of electronic voting machines and the strange irregularities in vote tallies. But when Trump won in 2024, suddenly the “hacked voting machines” theory wasn’t so ridiculous anymore.
A new bombshell report has both sides furiously blaming the other.
This week, a ProPublic report claims “a few months into President Donald Trump’s second term, political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security made an unusual request of its agency focused on cybersecurity: Secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it.”
Buried in the report: the request was never actually fulfilled.
“Though not acted on, the request shows how the Trump administration has tried to use the agency for its own ends while draining it of resources for one of its critical missions: protecting the nation’s voting systems.”
But if electronic voting machines are allegedly so secure, why is the Left so concerned if the US government’s cybersecurity teams take a closer look?
And should Americans be concerned by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s recent revelation, reported by Epoch Times, that companies who make “80% of the electronic voting machines… have acknowledged that parts of their machines are made in China.”?
Today’s guest Patrick Byrne, founder & former CEO of Overstock.com, is very familiar with voting machine irregularities – so much that he is a defendant in Dominion v. Byrne, a $1.7 billion defamation case.
