Overview
On Thursday, April 10, in a televised cabinet meeting, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that investigators uncovered evidence that electronic voting machines were tampered with to rig the results of past U.S. elections.
The intel community has known that voting machines have been vulnerable for a long time. Gabbard said in the statement:
“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.”
Voting Machines Hacked
According to the DNI, the evidence shows that the machines are “vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast.”
In other words, the machines were hacked in previous elections.
Move To Paper Ballots
The DNI further urged federal officials to transition away from computerized voting machines and over to paper ballots:
“This 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.”
