Nancy Pelosi warns GOP could ‘creep into technology’ to create ‘false count’ in midterm elections

WASHINGTON, DC: Nancy Pelosi expressed concern that Republicans might attempt to interfere with voting systems ahead of the midterm elections, raising questions about the integrity of vote counting.

Pelosi shared her concern during a recent MS Now appearance when she talked about possible problems in the next elections. Her comments were mostly about worries that Republicans could use technology in ways that could change the vote counts. This is because political tensions are still high before the 2026 midterms.

Pelosi raises concerns about election systems

Pelosi’s comments focused on concerns that Republicans could use technology in ways that could affect vote counts, as political tensions continue ahead of the 2026 midterms.

On MS NOW’s 'Way Too Early,' Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Republicans “may try to creep into the technology and create a false count” in the midterm elections.

Reporter Ali Vitali said, “I think if we look ahead to the midterm elections in 2026, you talk about the fact that you are confident that Democrats will retake the House, but I wonder if you have concerns about the midterm elections themselves?”

Pelosi said, “Always. We always have concerns.”

She continued, “There are so many things that you can do to protect the election, and they are being done, whether it’s litigation or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all of that.”

The remarks reflect ongoing disputes over election integrity, with lawmakers and political figures continuing to raise concerns about how elections are conducted and counted.

Pelosi believes Republicans will try to disrupt elections

Pelosi’s statement drew attention as it directly referenced the possibility of manipulated vote counts, adding to the broader political debate over election systems in the United States.

“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.”

Pelosi concluded, "There are so many things that the Republicans will try to do to disrupt an election can be avoided with early voting, by vote, by mail, which the president says is cheating, except he voted by mail and his family voted by mail in this last election, which he lost in Florida.”

In another interview, Pelosi wouldn't say if Democrats would try to impeach Donald Trump if they win back control of Congress.

Pelosi didn't give a clear answer when asked directly if she had seen impeachable actions during Trump's second term. She said instead that a future Congress would make those kinds of decisions.

Pelosi’s remarks highlight ongoing political divisions as both parties prepare for the elections.

While raising concerns about election systems, she also left open questions about potential actions Democrats could take if they regain a majority.
