" The mainstream media’s defense today is creating a contradiction that deserves scrutiny. Their argument is essentially this: “China having access to over 200 million U.S. voter records isn’t a big deal because much of that information is already available from state voter databases.” Fine. Let’s assume that’s true. Then explain this… For months, the federal government has requested voter roll data from states, and many states have argued that turning over those records would create unacceptable privacy and security risks. So which is it? If it’s too dangerous for the federal government to possess a centralized copy because of the security risks… …why isn’t it a national security crisis if a foreign adversary can compile that same information into a massive database? The contradiction gets even bigger. The media says the data isn’t sensitive because it’s publicly obtainable. The states argue it’s too sensitive to share with the federal government. Yet if reports that China obtained and compiled this data are accurate, we’re expected to believe that’s somehow not concerning. Regardless of politics, a foreign intelligence service with access to large-scale voter registration data could potentially use it for influence operations, targeting, profiling, or other intelligence purposes. You can’t simultaneously argue that voter data is too sensitive to share with your own government, while dismissing concerns about a foreign adversary possessing a massive compiled database of American voter information. Those two positions don’t fit together."
