With Republicans working to pass the SAVE America Act in the Senate to safeguard election integrity, a new report out of Washington is highlighting a potential danger to American elections that Democrats don’t want to talk about.
And it turns out there’s a good reason for that — since it could cast a shadow over Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 vote that has never quite set right with the American right.
It’s a danger that comes from the People’s Republic of China — the United States’ most dangerous enemy on the global stage.
According to a document obtained by Just the News, and confirmed with officials who had knowledge of the investigation, Beijing was able to electronically infiltrate unidentified American election systems as part of a cyber-espionage campaign.
“[Redacted] Chinese intelligence officials analyzed multiple U.S. states’ [Redacted] election voter registration data, [Redacted] to conduct public opinion analysis on the 2020 US general election,” a portion of an April 2020 National Intelligence Council document stated.
The memo, titled “Cyber Operations Enabling Expansive Authoritarianism,” was “quietly declassified” in 2022, but received no attention from either President Joe Biden’s administration or from the establishment media.
“That means six years later that the U.S. intelligence community has yet to fully inform the American people or the Congress on the breadth of evidence it possesses of China’s actions, how Beijing got the data, and what operations it has taken or contemplated,” wrote Just the News founder John Solomon and chief investigative correspondent Jerry Dunleavy.
The ChiComs did the same thing in the UK:
The United States expressed outrage when Great Britain revealed two years ago that its voter registration databases were hacked by China in what became a global scandal. But it turns out the U.S. intelligence harbored its own secret at the time, knowing since 2020 that Beijing also gained access to American voter registration data, according to documents reviewed by Just the News and interviews with officials with direct knowledge.
“[Redacted] Chinese intelligence officials analyzed multiple U.S. states’ [Redacted] election voter registration data, [Redacted] to conduct public opinion analysis on the 2020 US general election,” stated a once highly classified April 2020 National Intelligence Council memo entitled “Cyber Operations Enabling Expansive Authoritarianism.”

That memo, heavily redacted and quietly declassified by the Biden administration two years after it was written, has escaped most public notice.
That means six years later that the U.S. intelligence community has yet to fully inform the American people or the Congress on the breadth of evidence it possesses of China’s actions, how Beijing got the data, and what operations it has taken or contemplated.
The gap in public knowledge is particularly politically sensitive as the Senate this week debates a new election security bill that is a top priority for President Donald Trump. Officials told Just the News that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe are working to declassify a potentially explosive tranche of documents showing what China did, and who in U.S. government knew and when.
The secrecy surrounding China’s access to voter registration has been so persistent that even Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters, President Donald Trump’s point man for the 2026 mid-term elections, said he was unaware of the intelligence. “What’s crazy is the fact that China has access to these voter rolls, but we don’t,” Gruters told John Solomon Reports podcast in an episode set to air Tuesday.
Current and former U.S. officials told Just the News that U.S. intelligence agencies possess several raw reports dating to spring 2020 showing China gained access to American voter registration data spanning several states as well as a few finished intelligence products referring to such breaches, including at least one presidential daily briefing.
But the single passage in the DNI document declassified by the Biden administration is the sole piece of evidence in the public sphere.
Voter registration data is not the same as ballots, where Americans choose their candidates. But it contains sensitive personally identifying information, including driver’s license data and partial Social Security numbers. The data is considered so sensitive that several Democrat states are currently trying to keep the Trump Justice Department from obtaining it and liberal groups claim it is a holy grail of election integrity.
In the hands of a foreign power, such data could be used to mimic social personas designed to influence elections or to make absentee ballot requests to cast fake votes, something the FBI feared China might be doing during the 2020 election, according to recently declassified documents.
……..U.S. intelligence has acknowledged at least two other foreign powers have breached American voter data: Russia and Iran, the latter whose hackers downloaded 100,000 voter profiles from one state in 2020, according to an unsealed indictment. The dangers of such hacking were laid bare in the intelligence agencies’ assessment of those two breaches, without ever mentioning China.
“This data can be used by foreign actors to communicate false information to registered voters,” then-DNI Ratcliffe, now the CIA director, said during an October 2020 briefing that mentioned Iran and Russia’s access to such data. China was not mentioned in that briefing. Ratcliffe would later be briefed about China’s effort to obtain the voter data when he wrote his dissent, officials said.
Infuckingcredible. Just think how far the ChiComs could dig into election systems. They could access computer voting machines and really fuck things up.
Of course, this happened while Biden was still VP and abusing his office by selling out America to the ChiComs for profit.
The intelligence agencies need to tighten up their counter espionage. Besides Islam, China is the largest threat to the West.
