CNN's Nick Valencia on Monday shot down conspiracy theories being peddled by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and other MAGA Republicans about Dominion voting machines switching votes from former President Donald Trump to Vice President Kamala Harris.

While speaking with host Kate Bolduan, Valencia was asked about the fraud allegations lobbed by Greene over the weekend, which the Georgia Secretary of State's office was quick to debunk as false.

The CNN reporter noted that Greene and her allies seemed to be running the same playbook that they tried running to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

"These are the same tired, old claims that we've heard since 2020," he said. "And Georgia elections officials have been very clear that there is absolutely no evidence of widespread election fraud. They say the elections here are safe and secure."

Dominion Voting Systems became the target of right-wing attacks in 2020 after former Trump attorney Sidney Powell started spreading conspiracy theories about the company that she was told of by a Minnesota woman who believes that she can speak with the wind.

Dominion afterward sued multiple people, including Powell and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, for defamation.

Last year, Dominion settled a lawsuit with Fox News, which broadcast Powell's claims about Dominion, for more than $780 million.
