Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has just announced that her investigators have uncovered evidence confirming that electronic voting machines have been hacked to “manipulate the results of the votes” in America’s elections.
Gabbard dropped the huge bombshell during a Cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump and top administration officials on Thursday.
She assured the president that the investigators who uncovered the evidence are “the best of the best.”
“I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating,” Gabbard told President Trump.
“We’ve got the best of 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.”

Gabbard dropped the revelation while providing a detailed update on her sweeping investigations into the politicization of intelligence and election interference.
The confirmation from Gabbard comes after security experts have been sounding the alarm about the vulnerability of the machines for some time.
As Slay News reported last year, America’s top hackers exposed the vulnerabilities during a demonstration at the annual DEF CON conference in Las Vegas in August.
They revealed that the voting machines due to be used in the 2024 presidential election had vulnerabilities that allowed ballot counts to be manipulated.
During the event, hackers sought to identify vulnerabilities in voting machines that will be used for the 2024 election.
The DEF CON “Voting Village” hacking event entailed hackers working with a variety of voting machines.
They were able to bypass firewalls and other security measures on devices meant for counting ballots and confirming voters’ identities, Politico reported.
The organizers said they were putting together a report on the hacker’s findings.
Harri Hursti, co-founder of the Voting Village, reportedly said the detected vulnerabilities took up “multiple pages” within hours.
However, concerns about the 2024 election continued to grow when another hacker revealed in September how easily the machines could be overridden.
As Slay News reported at the time, a disturbing video emerged showing a hacker using a USB stick to override an election voting machine and change the system’s recorded votes in a matter of seconds.
The process was so fast that the hacker needed to slow down his software to demonstrate what he was doing.
After gaining control of the system, the hacker noted that he could “do anything you want” with the machine and the votes.
The hacker, whose identity wasn’t revealed, provided a live demonstration on Patrick Bet-David‘s PBD Podcast.
During the demonstration, he explained that he was using a simple “USB computer” device that can be easily bought online for around $120.
“If this had been an election, I could have gone to the database and, for example, change the votes,” the hacker states.
“How much of it could you have changed?” Bet-David asked.
“Anything,” the hacker replied.
“[I could] add a new candidate who was not even on a ballot.
“It doesn’t matter because if you have total control over the system.
“You can do anything you want.”

Fortunately, the 2024 election was just too big to rig.
However, Gabbard’s findings will likely show that multiple elections may have been swayed due to the manipulation of voting machines.
