In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of securing election systems. They highlight the risk of connecting these systems to the internet, as it can make them vulnerable to hacking. The speaker suggests that using paper ballots might be a smarter option, as they cannot be hacked like computer systems. By having something tangible to hold on to, like a piece of paper, we can ensure the integrity of the election process.

Secretary Bellows discusses the biggest threats to our democracy, highlighting election sabotage and voter suppression. She emphasizes the need for better leaders to combat these issues and stresses the importance of federal standards across the country. Secretary Bellows also mentions the deliberate campaign to discourage people from participating in our democracy, which she sees as an attack on our values. She urges everyone to fight back and protect our democracy and everything it stands for. The other speaker agrees with her points.

Concerns about election integrity are valid. Historically, Democrats have questioned election outcomes, such as in 2001 and 2004, without facing accusations of unpatriotism. It's essential to focus on the safeguards in place to prevent election tampering rather than getting angry at those who raise concerns. We have the technology to ensure accuracy, as seen with ATM machines and other systems that function reliably. To enhance election security, we should implement measures like paper ballots for verification. The conversation should center on improving the electoral process rather than debating whether specific elections were hacked.

We have Chris Wray, director of the FBI, along with Chris Krebsch, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, and Bill Avenina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, discussing the importance of the integrity and security of the 2020 election. They assure us that safeguarding our votes is a top priority and that they will not tolerate any criminal activity that threatens the sanctity of our vote or undermines public confidence. They are also working with technology and social media companies to prevent the spread of disinformation. They acknowledge that due to COVID, the election process may take longer, but they urge us to be patient until official results are announced.

The speaker states they are investigating dangerous and negative consequences with the "best of the best." They claim electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a long time and open to exploitation, allowing manipulation of vote results. This vulnerability purportedly reinforces the need for paper ballots nationwide, so voters can have faith in election integrity.

Jen Easterly, director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, asserts that foreign adversaries cannot change US election results. While it's difficult to claim anything is impossible, the built-in checks and balances make it highly unlikely. The resilience of the voting system, including oversight from both parties and the use of paper ballots for audits, enhances integrity. Despite concerns about misinformation, the US election infrastructure is robust and secure. Voting machines are not connected to the Internet, and state and local officials continuously work to improve security. The dedication of these officials ensures that the election process remains fair, accurate, and trustworthy, deserving our gratitude for their ongoing efforts.

Christopher Krebs, the former head of CISA, is described as having weaponized his position against free speech in the election context and in relation to a presidential memorandum involving the Department of Justice and other areas of government to investigate some “malign acts” he participated in while at CISA. The other speaker responds, saying he does not know Krebs well, but notes Krebs appeared after the election and characterizes the election as rigged. He asserts the country’s problems followed from that election, including open borders with millions entering the country, and references broader geopolitical and security events such as Russia and Ukraine, the October 7 incident, and Afghanistan, describing the withdrawal as resulting in 13 dead and many others killed and injured. He contends Krebs claimed the election was great, but he argues it was not, citing lawsuits and lawyers signing hundreds of millions of dollars in support, and claims that legislative processes and various schemes demonstrated a corrupt election where COVID was used to cheat. The speaker claims that Krebs asserted the election was the most secure in history, which he calls a disaster. He advocates for paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and a citizen certificate or piece of paper proving citizenship prior to voting. He argues for voter ID, paper ballots, and same-day voting, and claims that delays in ballot boxes and air-conditioning changes affected election processes. The speaker asserts that the election was not safe and that the press has been dishonest, describing the press as not free. The speaker adds that Krebs sat back as a member who appeared to be a Republican and claimed the election was safe from the start, but the speaker believes daily papers report increasing fraud. He states that Krebs is a fraud and a disgrace and asserts there will be an investigation into whether Krebs was right, with Krebs facing consequences if the election was not safe. He concludes that Krebs is a bad guy. The final remark notes that the last two points are very important for the country, emphasizing the questions around Krebs’s role and the integrity of the election, and indicating a determination to determine whether Krebs was correct about the election’s safety.

I prioritize the preservation of American democracy and believe in free and fair elections. There is a dangerous extremist movement in America that threatens our democracy. We must all take action to protect it, as history, the world, and future generations are watching. The vice president and I have been advocating for voting rights since the beginning of our administration, and I urge all Americans to join us in this cause. We are a nation of possibilities, where the power lies with the people. Together, there is nothing we cannot achieve. Paid for by the...

Secretary Bellows discusses the biggest threats to our democracy, highlighting election sabotage and voter suppression as major concerns. She emphasizes the need for better leaders to combat these issues and mentions the importance of federal standards across the country. The deliberate campaign to discourage people from participating in democracy is seen as an attack on the very essence of democracy itself. Secretary Bellows stresses the importance of fighting back to protect our democracy and everything it stands for. The other speaker agrees, acknowledging the validity of Secretary Bellows' points.

If Trump is reelected, the Justice Department and the FBI will be in serious trouble. Trump is going to target these institutions. Last time, he didn't do enough to corrupt them, but he understands their power now. He'll put people in positions who will do his will. He didn't have all-stars last time, but this time, he'll find people who are willing to do what he wants, and that should worry every American. This election is so important; you have to participate. Regardless of how you feel about Joe Biden, you must vote for him because the consequences of the other side are too severe.

The speaker asserts that the election is very important and emphasizes the crucial role of the Somali community in this process. According to the speaker, the Somali community is critical, and the speaker states that in their own election they would not be in office without the help of the Somali community. Somali voters came out in very large numbers and were able to register people to vote. The speaker notes that several thousand Somalis were recently naturalized as US citizens. The Somali community, the speaker claims, can make a huge impact on this election. The influence of Somalis is not limited to Minnesota; the speaker indicates that Somalis also play a significant role in battleground states such as Ohio and in Virginia. Specifically, the speaker mentions Somalis in Columbus, Ohio, and in Virginia, stating that they all have a role and opportunity to play a very big role in this election. The speaker believes that many people are counting on the Somali community to get involved, stay involved, and not just vote but help others vote. On the campaign, there are tremendous leaders. The speaker highlights Hibu Isak as a great leader who is very articulate, very smart, and a young lady who is out gathering Somali voters and other voters to get them to the polls. The speaker also mentions Miriam, who is on the campaign, along with other leaders. The overarching message is that the Somali community is a critical player, not just in Minnesota but also in Ohio and Virginia. The speaker urges listeners to call their relatives in those areas so they can be encouraged to vote. In summary, the speaker argues that Somali voters have demonstrated strong participation and registration efforts, there are newly naturalized Somali citizens, and Somalis’ involvement is pivotal in Minnesota, Ohio, and Virginia. The speaker calls for continued and expanded engagement, including assistance to others in voting, and points to specific community leaders like Hibu Isak and Miriam as examples of effective leadership within the campaign.

Documents will be released shortly, following last week's release. The speaker is encouraged by intelligence community whistleblowers coming forward, who were disgusted by past events and hope the truth will come out. The most important thing is accountability for the American people. All current and future documents have been sent to the Department of Justice to ensure the integrity of the democratic republic. The goal is to ensure Americans have faith that their votes will be respected by those leaving power.

We are committed to ensuring that only U.S. citizens participate in elections, and so far, there is no evidence of noncitizen voting. However, there have been instances where noncitizens voted; this year, 135 were identified as having voted, with another 400 registered but not yet voting. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean we shouldn't have measures in place to prevent it, similar to how we maintain TSA for air travel security.

We have created the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in American political history. We have a lot of work to do, not just to get elected, but also to ensure that everyone's vote counts. It's not just about making it easier for eligible people to vote, but also about who gets to count the votes and whether they should count at all. We need to address election subversion and ensure that the right people are counting the votes.

The speaker emphasizes that despite concerns about the election, the focus should be on energizing voters with a strong message. Trust in the system is crucial, along with winning by a large margin to avoid disputes. In 2016, President Trump's significant victory made such issues irrelevant. The speaker urges action to change laws now and maximize voter turnout in 2022.

Speaker 1 outlines a plan to revisit all 50 states and 'clean up voter rolls' and 'ensure as best they can that people are citizens when they're registering to vote in a federal election.' He notes letters have been sent to states under two statutes: 'Help America Vote Act' and 'NVRA, National Voter Registration Act.' States must maintain data, keep rules up to date, and have procedures for federal registrations to safeguard citizenship. He says many states are 'sloppy, cutting corners, not doing this, certainly not doing the list maintenance required,' and not properly ensuring people are on the rolls. The goal is that 'every citizen, whatever their party, whatever their views are, they should feel confident in the outcome of the election.'

The speaker states that the best investigators are pursuing election integrity. They claim there is evidence that electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a long time and can be exploited to manipulate vote results. This vulnerability allegedly drives the mandate to implement paper ballots across the country, so voters can have faith in election integrity.

We have created an extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization, similar to what we did during President Obama's administration. This organization is the most comprehensive in American political history. We want to ensure that the communication during the Trump election is secure. It is important to note that this election is considered the most secure in American history. We appreciate all the volunteers who worked at the polls.

We have created the most extensive voter fraud organization in American politics. We have a lot of work to do. I don't need your help to get elected, but I will need it once I am elected. It's not just about who gets to vote or making it easy for eligible people to vote. It's about who gets to count the vote and if your vote actually matters. It's about election subversion, not just voting. Who counts the vote? Count the vote? Count the vote?

After finishing a book just before the election, Speaker 1 was approached by Democratic state AGs to address concerns about the upcoming election. This led to the formation of a bipartisan group, including governors, former DOJ officials, US attorneys, prosecutors, sheriffs, law enforcement, and state AGs, aimed at defending the election against anticipated attacks. The group was active in 25 states leading up to the election. Speaker 1 believes the election was free and fair, the votes were freely and fairly counted, and the margins in key states are clear. While acknowledging potential turbulence, disinformation, and litigation, Speaker 1 assesses that the election results will withstand challenges, in part because the margin of victory will be sufficiently large. Speaker 1 expresses hope that the country will return to normal and anticipates remarkable achievements.

There are numerous reasons why our elections need to be secure. People who dedicate their lives to this cause are often dismissed as conspiracy theorists and technophobes. The vendors responsible for election systems are dishonest about the state of security. This is deeply concerning, and it brings me to tears. As someone I know once said, our country is pretending to be something it's not.

America's election infrastructure is more secure than ever, thanks to extensive work by state and local officials. Voters can trust that their votes will be counted accurately. Voting machines are not connected to the Internet, 97% of ballots are paper, and there are multiple safeguards in place, including cybersecurity measures and audits. However, foreign adversaries like Russia and China are spreading disinformation to undermine confidence in the system. As the election approaches, it's crucial for Americans to recognize the potential for increased disinformation. To navigate this, they should rely on information from trusted sources, specifically state and local election officials, who are the experts on election matters.

Suzanne, welcome. We need to discuss election security as we approach election day. Early voting has already begun in many states. It's crucial for Americans to recognize that election officials have been preparing for this moment for years, ensuring the safety and security of voting locations. Voters should feel confident about their safety and the integrity of the voting process. While there are concerns about the political climate and potential threats, it's important to emphasize the efforts made by state and local officials to protect the election process.

Some believe that many millennials, dreamers, and undocumented people, who contribute to the country, are fearful of voting because they worry immigration will find them and deport their families. One speaker claims that this is untrue because voting is confidential and voting rolls are not transferred for investigation. Another speaker expresses disbelief, stating that the President is questioning whether an illegal person is voting, and reminding people that only citizens can vote. The speaker believes the President is saying not to worry about being caught for illegal voting. The speaker emphasizes that undocumented people cannot vote because they are not citizens.

The speaker states that the "best of the best" are investigating election integrity. They claim there is evidence that electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers and exploitation, allowing for the manipulation of vote results. This allegedly supports the mandate to implement paper ballots nationwide, with the goal of restoring voters' faith in election integrity.
