3:26Now PlayingA Republican election worker in Michigan is now facing charges for allegedly tampering with and improperly accessing voting systems in the county where he was working. This individual also happened to serve as an "alternate" Trump elector, which was part of the Trump campaign's scheme to steal the election. There are very real threats to our voting systems, and right now it appears that they are all coming from the MAGA crowd, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

A Michigan poll worker for the Republicans has been, uh, arrested recently for tampering with the voting system following the August, 2022 Republican primary up there in the state of Michigan. The man's named, uh, James Hoor, and what happened was that, uh, he used a personal USB drive, inserted it into an electronic poll book After polls closed the night of the August 2nd primary in Gaines Township precinct, eight poll workers used the book to administer the election, which contains voter registration data, including confidential personal identifying information about all voters in the precinct. And Mr. Hobo put his personal USB drive into that machine to, I guess, copy data before any of that information could be sent to the state. So he is taking the raw data. This has not been approved by anyone. Nobody told him he was allowed to do this. He took the data from that machine before anybody could verify what was on it. Now, these machines, by the way, are not connected to the internet, so he could not access it remotely. He had to do it with the flash drive. It's also unclear whether or not he was taking data or putting data in the machine. So we don't know that. And this was again, the raw data. This had not been certified. Nobody else knew what all was in this system. And this Republican came along and compromised all of it.
This, this is becoming endemic here in the United States. It's always the Republicans. I mean, 99% of the time it's the Republicans and this is the kind of crap they're going to do. Okay? This isn't an individual that was riled up, you know, and looking for 2020 information. He did it this year for the Republican primary in his little area of Michigan. And we will begin to see more of this because we're now over two months past when this event happened, and we're a month and what, uh, a week or so, a little under a week from the midterms. These are the kinds of things that are going to happen. More and more, Mark my words. We are going to see story after story after election day this year of Republican poll workers putting in flash drives, trying to copy equipment, doing whatever they have to, you know, to stop all those liberals and their voter fraud. But in their efforts, of course, in their stupidity, they're the ones that are actually committing the voter fraud, and they're the ones that are paying the price for it.
