How do we know that our vote is not switched via hacked machines? DHSgov In NO WAY should ANY foreign entity manufacture our voting machines or have the ability to control the software within them. Soros

She lies so frequently, why believe her?

Sounds like the fix is in. Beware

I don't know which is worst, her saying it or Politico printing it.

Has anyone told that to some of the voting machines being used? There are numerous complaints about touchscreen voting machines not recording votes, or switching their votes to the opposite party. Machines with no paper trail.

The votes will count for what party? With all the reporting of machines malfunctioning, I believe these red states need to get it together. I don't trust the voting in voter suppression states like Georgia, Kansas and Texas.

Yea, they're 'prepared' like FEMA is prepared.

Considering what occurred in the 2016 US election that really isn't saying much.

Then you need to haul ass down here to Texas, where our machines are switching our votes from BetoORourke to Ted Cruz when we vote straight ticket. Been SIX YEARS NOW that we've had this problem! If you vote in TX, CheckYourBallot!

Anyone who would believe anything she says is a fool

Thanks, gonna need it

She can be believe the same way that Trump is believed...NOT!

Yeah right, what about the voting machines that are flipping more than 30% of the votes in Texas? Guess we'll just ignore that one.

Unfortunately, they were wholly unprepared to defend against a terrorist mailing pipebombs and a pair of hate-motivated mass shooters. But hey, SecNielsen is busy keeping us safe from those oh-so-dangerous Hondurans...

Wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw a kid in a cage. 🙄

Why do I not feel better?

Mm yea...and all the kiddos have been reunited with their fams too, right...🙄

That's not what FLA voters are saying

We all know that Nielsen is a liar, just like her boss. Why is any news outlet even quoting her!

SecNielsen don’t believe you because you’ll lie for the president & party before maintaining our democracy! cnni BBCWorld nytimes tictoc thehill HuffPost MMFlint billmaher washingtonpost Lawrence Slate Salon oneprotestinc SenSanders

Does this mean that the illegals votes won’t count

Great relief, because she is so trustworthy 🙄. Lordy sweet baby jesus help us all.

By cheating right

Unfortunately I'm not certain anyone believes that since they are already vote switching in Texas.

DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL REALLY UNEASY THAT THE SAME PERSON THAT LOST ALL THE BABIES IS IN CHARGE OF OUR POLLING PLACES? NO WAY THEY WILL BE FAIR.

How about protection against Repub voter supression? Safety means nothing if you have been denied the right to vote.

We are becoming a third world country’s we speak. I hope like h$& we can vote through some of this crap.

Boy, that's scary right there.

Texas voting: “...hold my beer...”

Give me a break...prepared for nothing...send DHS to Georgia to fight off domestic meddling in our elections

Yeah ask them how it’s going in Georgia and Texas with early voting. Suppression and outright fraud.

Yet machines are already switching votes.

I will believe that, when the Dems WIN and the REPUBLICONS STOP VOTER SUPPRESSION ! VOTE BLUE TO MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN ⬆🆙💙🌊🌀

I don't agree. From frontlinepbs - Has the U.S. done enough to protect the 2018 midterms from interference? 'Very little has been done,' Facebook’s ex-security chief Alex Stamos tells us.

Yeah & SecNielsen is incompetent so that makes me feel better.

Those quotation marks are appropriate

Sec Nielsen is a liar

And we have Supreme Court justices all set up to settle any close races

I hope they are right 🙏🏽

SecNielsen yeah sure you are! Ha ha about as good as finding those missing children? And voter suppression in some of the states!

So, NOT prepared in any way, since many states/counties are still forcing voters to use hacked machines, actively trying to suppress voters, purging voting lists, & purposely blocking voting by limiting hrs/moving loc to make voting more diff for demographics. PaperBallots Vote

BS

Why does this make me feel worried?

.SecNielsen Riiiiiiggghhhtttttt! We so believe EVERYTHING a cheating, lying, corrupt Administration that lost the popular vote but WON ELECTORAL COLLEGE WITH RUSSIAN interference. SIT DOWN already, you're embarrassing yourself w/hypocrisy.

Yeah she also said there was no policy to separate families/cage children. So she's a liar.

Next joke!

Then what is going on in Texas? Why are the machines not working correctly?

Right.... Security for whom?!!!?

Personally, I wouldn't believe 1 word out of her mouth: 1)she's appointed by djt--biggest liar N amer hist & it's a'catching' disease 2)she's NOT qualified for the position; 3)haven't heard her speak very intelligently yet on any topic Don't trust ANYONE in djt cabinet😡🤬.

She is only saying what she has to say. She really has no idea what is going on in, say...GEORGIA maybe?

Why don't I believe her?

SecNielsen Has Nielsen investigated the voter fraud Texas is having?

I don't trust voting machines. It seems like there have been issues with them nearly every election since they started using them. Everyone should go back to paper ballots.

Seriously!? Intelligence is already reporting that both the Chinese and Russians are still interfering. And, voting machines in several states are changing peoples votes to benefit republican candidates. That doesn’t sound prepared to me.

Just a little concerned what that means coming from SecNielsen

What is that supposed to mean We as in YOU and your corrupted department or we as in the governments of the past ? SecNielsen

Who’s defending the election from ResidentDump?

I don't trust anyone in this Administration. When I hear Kirsten Nielsen say this, I hear Homeland Security will be intimidating minority voters.

True, except for all the voting machine fraud. Guess that doesn’t count.

Yeah, she lies....almost as badly as Trump

Pack of lies! Just look at what’s happening right before our eyes in Texas! If Cruz wins that election I believe there should be a federalinvestigation!

So they'll assure a Republican win

Yes we just want a fair and right election !

Bull shit, the voting machines in Texas are turning Beto votes into Cruz votes... how does that one way street happen?

gbincodem “more prepared than we’ve ever been”? So, not prepared?

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND TRUST THAT FUCKING WOMAN? NOT ME DHSgov

somehow I just don't trust her competence

SECURE OUR BORDER IN CALI ALL U HAVE TO DO IS GET THERE AND YOU CAN VOTE WITHOUT IDENTIFICATION THANX TO KAMALAHARRIS

Why do I feel that quote is complete Bullshit?

You've lied before

Bullshit. Liars.

Why would we believe this wolf in sheep’s clothing? Anyone?

I don’t believe a word of it!!!

For some reason she isn't very convincing🤔

How many states now have voting machines tabulating for the wrong party, disenfranchised voters, massive purges, running candidates in charge of their own election process, polls moved-then wrong address sent 2 voters, President lying - BUT IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL - MY ASS!

She belongs on trial for mass atrocities. Send her to The Hague where monsters go

Yeah right

Lol

So.... barely prepared then

Ya cause the deep state will f it if these people can

Lies

She’s taking a break from stopping the caravan 1000 miles away?

As ballots are being changed in TN, GA and TEXAS....from Democrat to Republican. What is being done This is happening NOW in early voting!

Well what the hell does that mean? It has no relationship to our capabilities for defending ourselves.

Are you prepared to reunite those children still being held to their parents/families?

Prepared how? By going after refugees?

Oh sure you are! Ready to tamper?

Yeah sure you are

Secure for Russia or America?

We need ICE at polling stations. No moter illegals interfering in our elections!

Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen says the November 6th election is secure. But it is not external threats that should concern the electorate but internal actions by the States of Texas, North Carolina, Georgia and North Dakota. They are stealing the right to vote.

Really, secNielsen...what are you doing about all the vote changing going on. For example in Texas, people who vote straight ticket Democrat are having their machine ballots changed to straight Republican. Or is that exactly how you people want it. If you can't win, cheat?

Said the Fox to the henhouse

She's a liar.

Too bad she can't be trusted to be honest.

I hope that includes stopping voter suppression in Georgia.

Yes, the children are securely in their cages.

No they RNT DHSgov . Congress has not funded them to increase cyber security. Tgey did ZERO to improve electronic polling stations & Congress repeatedly stated that we didn't need to secure our elections. SO SecNielsen IS A FUCKING LIAR!!!!!!!!

doubt this

Has she found all those kids she locked up and then lost yet? Cuz her record on that isn't inspiring.

sure all this coming from a white house that wont even admit russia had a hand in electing him so not too believable is it

ABC 13 Houston News reports to the Election Officials who refuse to repair voting machines. When you vote straight party, it changes a vote from BetoORourke to tedcruz automatically. Voters were told it is the responsibility of the voter not the machines. tedcruz indict him.

She has no idea what she is talking about, Belieeeeeve me.

Do not believe a word she says.

When you compare it to their performance with family separation, the bar is extremely low!!! DHSgov SecNielsen

That’s what scares me!

'Prepared'

🙄🤢🤮👿

This, coming from the woman who put babies in cages.

Faint assurance.

ProtectTheVote Beware of deplorables intimidating people at the polls; liberals, minorities, anyone under 60, anyone with a degree, anyone carrying a book, etc. vote monitor the VotingMachines MMFlint

“...for Russia,” she continued.

Now, why should we believe that?

what b.s. Not one dime has been spent on election integrity

Yeah secure them for the corroptlicans.

Whatever she says just take the opposite and that’s what she means

hahahahahahahaha doubt it

Why the F didnt you do a vote audit of the last election to determine if votes were changed. Don't pretend you care now. We have ZERO faith in your ability to protect us & based on your past behavior, we believe you are corrupt & enabling foreign actors if not complicit.

DHSgov since you have everything under control as far as foreign interference with the 2018 election, I think Georgia has some issues with their voting machines.

really? haven't spent a dime on election security

And we trust what she says why?

Since they haven't done anything to protect our elections, I suppose any little thing would be 'more than ever.'

SecNielsen cages children. Forgive me if her devotion to fair elections seems suspect.

What about all the crooked stuff going on with early voting, ex: Georgia and Midwestern region?

Another realDonaldTrump admin lie!

I’d feel better if UN election monitors ensured the security of the midterms instead.

I don't trust them an inch.

SecNielsen is one to believe 🙄

That kind of talk ('more than ever') from a Trumpist usually means they are not prepared at all. Or even prepared to encourage corruption.

So, totally unprepared and ready to drop the ball at a moments notice?

so why are Texas voting machines switching votes from Democratic to Republican? Or is that what Nielsen meant by 'prepared?'

She went on, “For instance, we’ve supported gerrymandering efforts across the country, drafted voter ID laws disproportionately affecting minorities, and purged the rolls of minority voters in countless counties. Suck it, liberals.”

Prepared to give the election to the Republicans, they surely don't want a fair election... Would anyone in their right mind ever believe Mrs. Evil? Really

This makes me nervous.

Some people may actually believe this....

Bullshit!!

To rig it

SecNielsen How the fuck would you know? And if you did, you would lie about anyway.

How about voting machine problems?

Is there anything Kirstjen Nielsen has ever said that would give you reason to believe her?

They can't even find those children they lost... 🙄

Does she believe her own shit?

Yeah right, lie.

It’s exceedingly difficult to be prepared to secure an election when you won’t even acknowledge the threats from which is needs to be protected.

Miiiiight be true-ish, in a cavalry-ready-for-world-war kinda way. Don't tell the horses about the machine guns. It makes them upset.

I don't believe her nor do I believe anything she has to say. She was more concerned with the caravan than the bombs being sent to prominent Dems.

Why do I not believe this?

I call BS.

She has her finger in too many pies.

We need to go back to paper Ballots, Stop the corruption!

'no kids are in cages' Said Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen

And with a Trump appointee overseeing election security, we can all feel safe there will be no foreign interference. From someplace like Russia. None.

Does that mean we won’t have to fear trump supporters casting our ballots?

Please... really. Don't insult our intelligence.

She lies every time she speaks

I don't trust a thing that woman says.

Somehow I don't believe that.

Hmmm, then what are they doing about the malfunction of the voting machines?
