President Donald Trump used a primetime address to renew concerns about U.S. election security, release newly declassified intelligence documents and urge Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, reported by CBS News.
According to the report, Trump alleged China's access to U.S. voter registration data represented the "largest compromise of election data in history" and argued election systems remain vulnerable.
The report said Trump also cited alleged problems involving non-citizen and deceased voters while calling for stricter election safeguards. Election experts disputed several of the claims, noting that voter registration records are largely public and that documented cases of election fraud remain rare.
CBS News reported that previously released U.S. intelligence assessments concluded no foreign government altered voting systems or vote counts during the 2020 election, although foreign influence campaigns were identified.
