Amazon's Alexa States 2020 Election Was Stolen

Amazon's Alexa has told users that the 2020 presidential election was 'stolen by a massive amount of election fraud' causing Jeff Bezos' empire to scramble to explain the concerning content. 

An investigation by the Washington Post showed when the devices were asked if the election was stolen, they would cite unproven facts and say that electoral fraud had taken place.  

The Daily Mail reports Alexa said it was 'stolen by a massive amount of election fraud,' while citing Rumble, a right-wing video streaming site.  Amazon did not say why the machines use information from unvetted sources when answering questions posed by users.

In another instance, Alexa cited Substack and said the race was 'notorious for many incidents of irregularities and indications pointing to electoral fraud taking place in major metro centers.'

Amazon claims they work with 'credible sources' such as Reuters, Ballotpedia and RealClearPolitics.

After being informed of the issue, the response given by the machine allegedly changed, reports the Post.  Amazon spokeswoman Lauren Raemhild said in a statement: 'These responses were errors that were delivered a small number of times, and quickly fixed when brought to our attention.

Polling continues to show that former President Donald Trump convinced a large portion of Republican voters that President Joe Biden's 2020 win was illegitimate.

A CNN poll released in August found that 69 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters still believe Biden's win wasn't legitimate - up from 63 percent earlier this year. Among registered voters who cast a ballot for Trump in 2020, the numbers were even higher - with 75 percent expressing doubts that the last election was conducted properly.
