White House Claims China Stole 220 Million U.S. Voter Records
The White House says that China and its allies stole a huge amount of voter information—about 220 million people’s records—from the United States.
This information includes details that were not publicly available.
The claim comes from intelligence documents that were made public in July 2026.
The White House says that if a foreign power gets this data, it could change or delete voter information, making it hard for people to vote.
The government wants to show how serious the threat is and to keep the public informed about election security.
White House fact sheet claims China and proxies stole up to 220 million U.S. voter records.
Stolen data included non‑public information stored on commercial websites.
Documents say foreign adversaries could alter registration data to block voters or delay elections.
The claim was released after President Trump’s July 16, 2026 speech on election interference.
The fact sheet was approved by top U.S. intelligence agencies and the Department of Homeland Security.
