He alleged that China conducted the largest-ever theft of election-related information, acquiring personal data of 220 million U.S. voters over several years, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and political preferences. Trump highlighted concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities in voting systems and announced that his governance is notifying affected states to mitigate potential harm. Additionally, he mentioned discovering over 250,000 ineligible non-citizen voters, with the actual number likely higher due to some states refusing to share voter data. Trump is pushing for legislative measures like the SAVE America Act and emphasized ongoing efforts to improve election security and prevent election fraud.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>During a prime-time speech last night, President Donald Trump announced that the election data of numerous states have been compromised and that he would be notifying them in the days to come.<\/p>\n<p>The bombshell allegation was part of a major election integrity address by the president in which he discussed China\u2019s purported meddling in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned other security concerns as part of a larger push to get Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE America Act.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is currently held up in the Senate, where Democrats and even some Republicans have vowed to stop it by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/think-twice-talking-filibuster-pass-save-america-act-might-sound-nice-really-want-schumer-control-months\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">any means necessary<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The president highlighted at the outset what he said was the gravest concern: Documents which \u201cshow that, over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People\u2019s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China\u2019s illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare.
