Overview
- Nancy Pelosi, in a Tuesday MS NOW interview with Ali Vitali, said Republicans may try to hack election technology and create a false vote count in the 2026 midterms.
- She voiced confidence about Democratic gains while outlining three aims for her party: win the midterms, keep elections safe, and explain what Democrats would do in power.
- Pelosi said Democrats are using lawsuits, new bills, mobilization, and communication to guard elections, and she argued early voting and voting by mail can reduce disruption.
- The remarks landed as Republicans push the SAVE Act, a House-passed measure that would require specific identification to vote, which Democrats criticize as unnecessary and restrictive.
- Right-leaning outlets highlighted her past rejection of 2020 fraud claims and social media users accused her of hypocrisy, while broader coverage focused on renewed fights over election security and technology risks.
