Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed Friday that Dominion Voting Systems software was “switching” votes in her district from Republican to Democrat.
Greene shared a post on social media from a constituent claiming they voted for her and Donald Trump but their vote was switched on the paper copy of the ballot to Democrat.
Greene doubled down in an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his Infowars podcast
“They went to vote, and we have the Dominion machines, And you mark – you go through and you mark president, you mark, you know for Congress – that would be me. You vote – and they marked Donald Trump, and they marked who they were voting for the rest of the way down their ballot on the machine,” Greene said in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
“When this voter printed their ballot and they looked, it had changed. It was not Donald Trump, it was not me, and it was not the other ones they had voted for. It had switched,” she continued.
The congresswoman, who is no stranger to promoting conspiracy theories, claimed the voter was allowed to start over after pointing out the error to election workers but the machine kept making the same error.
“This is something we are just starting to look into today because I just found out about it this morning,” Greene added. “We will be following up and I will be talking to election workers and officials here in the district in making sure that this happens, that these ballots are correct because that’s extremely concerning. It sounds similar to what we heard in 2020.”
Greene’s claim is similar to those made by Donald Trump and his allies following the former president’s defeat in the 2020 presidential election. Those claims have been debunked and has led to Dominion winning a $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
Early voting is now underway in Georgia with more than 300,000 ballots cast on the first day on Tuesday, more than doubling the previous record set in 2020.
On Friday, turnout crossed 1 million early and absentee voters, or roughly 14 percent of active voters in state, according to Gabriel Sterling, the chief operating officer of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s (R) office.
