Trump: There Is Evidence of a Massive Chinese Effort to Compromise America's Voting Rolls -- But the Deep State Covered It Up

This is treason.

And the death penalty should be on the table.

There was a lot in last night's speech. I'm going to break it up into two posts.

First -- this post -- about what China did.

Second -- in another post -- about treasonous US "intelligence" operatives covering it up to protect their Chinese pals -- and aid and abet China's efforts to influence our elections in the Democrats' favor -- and thus to interfere in the election themselves.

The president said the People's Republic of China (PRC) illicitly acquired a whopping 220 million U.S. voter files through "what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history."

"That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening," Trump said.

"This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that China assigned a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project," he added.

Trump said another key area of concern is a "deep state" cover-up of the extent of China's meddling.

The third set of documents "proves that for many years Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems, dishonest almost all," the president said, adding:

They're vulnerable and they're easily compromised, and people within our government knew that. Tonight, we're publishing a series of previously classified U.S. intelligence community assessments and other reports proving that our government has long known these machines are extremely exposed to attack. As one assessment states, we judge that the United States adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise U.S. election infrastructure.

Trump said documents "show the CIA obtained reporting of a specific plot to do a big number in favor of the corrupt Maduro regime in Venezuela, and that's exactly what happened, conspiring to digitally rig their own country's elections in 2020, and that's what they did."

The fourth set shows "significant evidence of fraud" was "buried and covered up," Trump said, pointing to "FBI files detailing evidence of alleged fraud by a large-scale voter registration operation in Michigan."

He added:

In 2020, Michigan State Police raided a Democrat Get Out the Vote organization, corrupt group, in Muskegon, and were so concerned by what they found ... that they contacted the FBI in Detroit. The documents state that some canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter registration forms in other people's names, submitted fraudulent registration for people who did not exist, and received gift cards tied to their number of applications that they produced. In other words, it was pay, play, and cheat.

The final area of documents is a release of a Department of Homeland Security investigation, which uncovered hundreds of thousands of noncitizens registered to vote in federal elections, he said:

According to the DHS review, state voter rolls, and public records, they identified approximately 278,000 non-citizens who are registered to vote in federal elections. Since Democrat states refuse to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher than that. Yet, even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners illegally registered to vote.

The president added that the information he detailed throughout the address shows "an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it"

He also said, accurately, that you would only defend this broken system if you had the intention of cheating in elections.

There was election interference by a hostile foreign power.

But that power was not Russia, as the Democrat cover story had it.

That power was China, interfering in our elections in favor of Joe Biden, just as they interfered in the 1992 and 1996 elections in favor of Bill Clinton.

"As the documents we are releasing show, CIA reporting explicitly stated, 'in mid-2018, the Chinese communist party's policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the U.S. president in an effort to reduce the U.S. president's votes, and make him resign or prevent his reelection," he said.

The president further alleged that China meddled in the 2018 mid-term elections and the 2020 elections, adding that China sought to undermine domestic confidence in the U.S. president during the year 2019.

At least one "CIA Note" posted to the White House website said that China had accessed data from the 2015 presidential elections.

"China was working to influence the results of the U.S. mid-term elections, and later the resuits of the 2020 U.S. Presidential elections," it said. "As part of this campaign, China was analyzing the 2015 U.S. Presidential elections and identifying U.S. states who voted for the U.S. President."

"The Chinese would then identify sectors within these states that voted to support the U.S. President's political party, and would attempt to make these sectors experience negative financial consequences by levying tariffs on exports to China from those sectors," it added. "The Chinese hoped that these measures would induce representatives from these sectors to lobby the U.S. President."

My top lines from President Trump's election document release so far:

Homeland Security says more than 250,000 noncitizens were illegally registered to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada alone.

In Michigan, FBI database checks on 107 voter registration applications found 91 with no matching person in government records.

An unevaluated FBI report from Albany claimed China made fake U.S. driver's licenses to enable mail-in votes for Biden.

A CIA note on 2018--2020 reporting says China's goal was to stop President Trump from winning reelection. Other documents show this reporting was "massaged" in order to mislead POTUS.

Declassified tables describe roughly 204 million U.S. voter records among datasets held or possessed by Chinese actors. Documents note these records could be used to request absentee ballots in the names of low propensity voters.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) found many state and local election office networks so poorly secured that its testers could take full control in hours or days.

A Michigan witness told the FBI canvassers were paid with debit cards to register phony voters and said the operation seemed aimed at suppressing votes for President Trump.

The Michigan FBI registration-fraud case ran about four years before prosecutors declined charges, with long delays at the Justice Department. The case suggests the Biden Admin was deliberating thwarting investigations into pro-Biden election fraud, much as investigations into Hillary Clinton were slow-walked or killed prior to 2016.

A federal threat paper says China breached state voter registration systems and that stolen data can be used later to request absentee ballots or change voter rolls.

TL;DR - Foreign regimes targeted American elections to stop President Trump, and the Biden Admin greatly strengthened those efforts.
