Trump's Chinese Voter-Data Claims Disputed

President Donald Trump and the White House have alleged that Chinese actors acquired up to 220 million U.

S. voter files and targeted election-related data, citing newly declassified intelligence. State officials and earlier intelligence assessments dispute the scope and characterization of the claims, indicating that some information came from public or commercial sources and finding no evidence that China altered voter rolls, ballots, or vote-counting systems. The dispute highlights the difference between large-scale voter-data collection and demonstrated interference with election infrastructure, while also driving calls for tighter voter-registration requirements.
