“The harder problem will be to restrain Google, because like you said, if they just subtly tweak their search engine algorithms… They have a complete monopoly on the U.S. search engine market. If they’re subtle enough, they could boost Biden content, suppress Trump content in the weeks preceding the 2020 election, and boom that’s a rigged election. You know, I can’t prove that they did that, but come on — they’re clever people, they’ve got the motive, they’ve got the opportunity, so we’ve got to find a way to convene an investigative team to go in there. We’re going to forcefully embed a team of software engineers — I’ll personally oversee them in the senate — and we’re going to make sure Google isn’t rigging the election weeks before anybody votes.”

“I think if we don’t do that, you can do whatever you want at the local level, tighten up election security, that’s great, we need to do that — but if we don’t get a hold of Google, we’re not going to have free and fair elections in this country.”
