The DNI doesn’t run elections.
Even if Tulsi opened an intelligence review, the DNI has no authority to mandate paper ballots, limit voting to Election Day, or change how states run elections. That power lives with the states and Congress.
Elections can’t just be “suspended.”
There is no mechanism for the executive branch to pause midterms. That would require congressional action and likely constitutional changes, not an intelligence investigation.
Nothing official backs this up.
If something this big were happening, we’d see executive orders, DOJ filings, court actions, or congressional moves. None of that exists right now.
This isn’t new territory.
Electronic voting has already been litigated extensively since 2020, and many states already use paper ballots or paper audit trails.
I’m not saying election integrity doesn’t matter — it absolutely does. I’m just saying this claim jumps way ahead of what any agency actually has the legal power to do.
It also highlights a significant issue that's been called out multiple times here recently.
Someone takes old information, shakes out the mothballs and dust bunnies, slaps a 🚨“BREAKING”🚨 label on it, and suddenly it’s treated like brand-new policy. Everyone gets spun up, declares a massive “WIN!!!” starts talking about tribunals, hangings, and traitors getting what’s coming.
Then… nothing happens.
Because it was never real in the first place.
A few weeks pass. Reality intrudes. It quietly gets memory-holed.
Eight months later the exact same claim pops back up, dusted off, reposted, and the whole thing starts again.
Rinse. Repeat.
If we want to be taken seriously, we have to stop reacting to recycled hype and start asking one simple question every time: what actually changed today and who exactly was arrested?
Edited to add that last bit in bold there thanks to u/CMAnon pointing out that I wasn't asking everything that needed to be asked.
Totally not trying to bust your balls on this, but...how much due diligence do you put into verifying things you post? On average? This is really something I wonder about, seeing how things like this are a daily occurrence. Multiple times a day, at that. Obviously I don't think you do this any more than anyone else. I'm not trying to suggest that you, personally, are responsible for all of it.
I appreciate the work that you put into creating posts for all of us. It's something I can't really do myself. Either by the time I find something interesting enough to post, 20 other people have already posted about it. So no real reason for me to do it. But....come on guys (not just you, brain_dead). This is an elite research board. There should be at least the most basic fact checking before passing stuff along.
It's gotten to the point that as soon as I see 🚨“BREAKING”🚨, I automatically start the BS detector. 🤷♀️
One of the most important thing for me is, if the board ha not seen it, then I post. I went thru the board to make sure it has not been posted. Sometimes I posted thing that's 4 years ago but I do tell you.
My comments were about what the post claimed, not solely what's said during the video itself. The only thing I mentioned that's specific to the actual video is its age.
I didn't realize I had to point that out explicitly. Apparently I overestimated everyone's ability to figure that out for themselves. Totally my bad.
I'm not sure where you're trying to go with your comment in regards to my pointing out that this is an elite research board. So rather than me trying to decode whatever it is you're trying to say there, maybe you could be so kind to clarify it a bit?
A few things worth keeping straight here:
This is from at least 8 months ago, so hardly "breaking". Here's the same YouTube clip from 8 months ago: https://youtube.com/shorts/SQPedWdeijw?si=QJMn1bU24py0bNjw

How can you tell if it's been posted about before or not, though?
FIRST OFF....it's an INVESTIGATION by an AGENCY that does INVESTIGATION NATIONALLY....you might wanna start there you seemed to really miss that PART.
I watched the video, the GOAL was paper ballots. There is a PROCCESS to get there, that is all that was said.
As for ELITE RESEARCH BOARD.....it's more than the average bear

the second half of your last question is missing. "What actually changed today and who exactly was arrested?"
You're welcome.
Thanks! That's absolutely better!
Thanks for the clarification.
