“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,” Gabbard told President Trump directly. She went on to say, “We have a long list of things that we’re investigating,” explaining that the intelligence community had “the best of the best going after” security threats—including those targeting election systems.
Her final statement should’ve made headlines across the country: “This 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.”
Media Focused on Anything But This
Instead of broadcasting this critical warning, major outlets ran cover stories about MLK and RFK assassination documents—decades-old files that, while interesting, have no real impact on today’s national security.
CBS News chose to headline with: “Documents related to the 1968 assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy will be released ‘within the next few days,’ Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said.”
Even Fox News brushed past the explosive election claims, opting instead to highlight: “Gabbard says RFK, MLK Jr records ‘ready to release’ in days, has ‘hunters’ looking at FBI, CIA for more files.”
Not one of them addressed the actual threat to America’s democracy that Gabbard publicly identified.
Attacking the Messenger
Instead of asking why no one is taking these warnings seriously, CNN used their coverage to smear Gabbard. Their “scoop”? A hit piece suggesting she may have voted in the wrong state.
According to CNN, Gabbard claimed Texas residency last year after buying a home outside Austin—but voted in Hawaii in 2024. While the law is admittedly complex, this was the angle the network pushed instead of tackling the actual content of her Cabinet meeting remarks.
This is the media’s idea of election “integrity” coverage—focus on technicalities, ignore national security threats.
Vulnerabilities Shouldn’t Be a Partisan Issue
Gabbard never alleged fraud, but simply highlighted what experts across the political spectrum once agreed on: machines connected to the internet can be compromised.
Yet, the moment this idea was tied to President Trump’s push for paper ballots, it was thrown into the “fringe conspiracy” bucket—despite being grounded in common sense and cybersecurity best practices.
Gabbard’s words echo a warning every American should heed: the systems we rely on to count votes may not be as secure as we’ve been led to believe. Ignoring that is reckless.

Election systems don’t need to be proven hacked to demand review. They only need to be vulnerable. And if they are, we should want to fix that—not bury it beneath distractions and smear campaigns.
The Bottom Line
Tulsi Gabbard didn’t just make a headline. She may have exposed the single biggest blind spot in our democracy—right in front of the media, in the most public setting possible.
And still… crickets.
When Americans ask why they no longer trust the press, this is why. The real story isn’t what Tulsi Gabbard said. It’s what the media refused to report.
