This Tuesday, April 28, 2020 file photo shows Jerome Fedor, left, voting using social distancing at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, in Cleveland, Ohio. Ohio's elections chief says his office plans to remove about 120,000 inactive Ohio voter registrations from state voter rolls after the November election.
U.S. officials also believe that China does not want Trump to win a second term and that Beijing has accelerated its criticism of the president and its efforts to shape American opinion and public policy. The latest intelligence assessment reflects concerns to varying degrees about China, Russia and Iran, warning that hostile foreign actors may seek to compromise election infrastructure and interfere with the voting process.
“Many foreign actors have a preference for who wins the election, which they express through a range of overt and private statements; covert influence efforts are rarer,” said Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence Security Center. “We are primarily concerned about the ongoing and potential activity by China, Russia and Iran.”
This is a lie. Trump solicited and has already received China’s help for his re-election bid. Stop the sloppy reporting: China is pro Trump! TrumpIsALiar
US intelligence agencies have a seven-decade history of feeding disinfo to the public. Much of the Russia Panic Narrative has already been discredited. Journalists from AP & elsewhere need to follow up on claims from intel with investigation, not just parrot official statements.
I wonder who has more power to interfere....Russia or China. I guess the election results will tell us
L_Ragland_Jr Are they sending in mail in ballots too?
Devastating. realdonaldtrump is better than anything Putin could have imagined or hoped for. America is flying crippled & blind with a blithering idiot at the stick.
Media keeps saying biden is in the lead so y r they panicking
🤨 I guess China would love to see him re-elected.
Of course they want trump! Destabilization of the US, trashing key alliances, and dividing up the world has always been Putin’s goal.
Everyone denegrates Biden because he’s a complete idiot!
Curious who a China and Iran we’re working to get elected in 2016?
AP, enemy of the American people. Like they say in the land of make believe, womp womp
It's Hobson's choice, whoever wins, the American people lose and the corporate-military-industrial complex wins. As George Carlin said, 'you have the illusion of choice'.
cryborg OUR VOTES STILL AREN’T PROTECTED. TrumpRUSSIAtwoPointOH GOP
If hoping Trump loses is a threat to democracy, than the threat is global. But what abt Russians denigrating Biden by spreading stories that he’s corrupt! Um again, a global phenomenon. Did they cite AP? Probably not, you’re not a credible source.
NO your headline is wrong. Russia is the only one thought to be interfering. Do Better!
Listen no matter what, if the dumpster fire wins re-election due to whatever country meddling, we’re all fucked!!
TrumpIsANationalDisgrace and will still lose even if he and the GOP cheat. VoteTrumpOut Vote2020
Iran and Russia are the same operatives. Russia remotes through Iranian servers.
Wait. They are like all trying to get the same candidates to win? Or...? What’s a coherent endgame here?
So basically the argument it is 2 to 1 in favor of Joe Biden. Should he win Mueller will need an assistant to find the collusion.
China and Iran - if you are listening, please actively meddle and help Biden win. This is the only message I want to hear from now on. And I want China to start doing that covertly. Maybe that will force Republicans to get off their butts and secure elections.
This sounds like a Trump ploy to accuse China as pro Biden, while letting Russia interfere in our election on his behalf
Yeah! China is US's enemy. Since they don't want Trump win, we must vote Trump to fight against it! So, Trump2020 !
China and Iran want to improve pragmatic relations with US. Russia wants to fuck with and weaken the US. Also, make a list of all allies and put them into pro-Biden or Trump columns. Who ends up with more support? UK? Germany? Japan? France? Canada? Australia? Etc.
Same lies again
RepubliCONS don’t want American elections to be decided by Americans. Just ask the grim reaper, senatemajldr how many ElectionSecurity bills are buried in his SenateGraveyard ☠️
Nice, biased word choice.
Now, we're the pawns in a cold war
epallred When Biden wins. Putin & Russia should run for cover.
What about Twitter and Facebook interference?
I think Trump is a little racist but..... Biden is for the military industrial complex and is legally corrupt & comes off as he feels entitled
I have a question for Americans. In your opinion, is Trump a good president? Cause to me, a Chinese, he is not. Not only he is not but also he kind of fucked it up. So, to China’s best interests, are we supposed to want him to re-elect? Cause that’s what most Chinese want.
Don’t be one of the 113M people who chose to sit at home last time and do nothing to influence the election. You have no right to complain if you don’t participate.
This is your job, Do not project Lies🚫
😂 hahaha everyone is having a field day! Enjoy!
放你🐴🐶屁，爷就希望建国连任。
Hmm, thinking China may have assessed this one wrong. Trump has been a mess which has helped China in many ways gain influence in the world.
Iran is boosting Kanye West
Isn't Joe denigrating Joe?
😂
realDonaldTrump wants to cut Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security!! 1TermOnly VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
So in other words it's just another election year
You people are insane if you think russia and China aren't on the same side. Further more if you want evidence of chinese propoganda look at this
Dystopia 100
They can't! ❤
Trump is the strongest president that CCP never meet before
revmagdalen What a mess 🤦♀️
“we’ve traced the call...it’s coming from inside the house.”
Woo. Let’s see who has the most money. I bet China wins the presidency.
Then there’s Kanye West’s bogus presidential bid that even he admitted was to siphon black votes from Biden. Truly nothing short of election interference right here at home as far as I’m concerned.
Dear foreign countries, We don’t need help. We got this. Thanks.
Laureta22 China if you’re listening, just counter Russia. Will do the rest.
Yes its russias fault for why joe biden is so racist
This is coming out after Biden's racist comments? Good timing.
Senate Republicans have refused to pass multiple election security bills including one that demanded campaigns report attempts of foreign interference. Also, Barr recently struggled to say if it would be wrong for trump campaign to accept foreign help. Patriots, my ass.
Russia wants to denigrate Biden? So according to Trump his God is trying to hurt Biden, not the other way around.
Now tell us who our allies want elected. What about France, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Mexico and Canada? Guess that wouldn't be as entertaining, huh.
I'm going to check with China and Russia before I go to the polls on Election Day, said no one EVER.
Biblicalidiot Caused this mess
Explains all the recent phone calls between POTUS and his handler in the Kremlin.
I wonder how many Iranian and Chinese nationals are counting all absentee and mail-in ballots? And thank you Russia, but we are capable of denigrating our presidential candidates without your help. And better!
Who is Iran voting for? How about Israel? KSA? Poland?
Biden is a clown no one needs to try.
Very strange year indeed.......
But as AmbJohnBolton mentioned in his book China was very happy dealing w/ Trump even Xi stated that he would like to see Trump win 2020
China,Rus,Iran are allies with each other, and they have an authoritarian regime.These 3countries want to benefit from the US,which is a democracy.Obviously,the dead-end branch of the development of 3 countries,hence their psychosis & attempts to influence the elections in the US
In 2016, it was Russia. Now it’s Russia, China, & Iran. Why? Because in 2016, Russia proved it could be done. Because realDonaldTrump ‘s constant failures proved it could be effective. And because the GOP ‘s refusal to do anything about it proved there are no consequences.
Here’s a novel journalism idea: summarize the whole story in the headline. Your stupid biased headline only accounts for the Russian angle.
AP, It’s hard to believe any ENEMY country in the world of wants America NOT to re-elect this imbecile President. It’s a benefit to any American Enemies to keep an Incompetent & Irresponsible Individual as President. We need to VOTE on November 3rd to end this nightmare!
What moron would fall for any of that bs anyway.
China, if you’re listening...
Most of the world is hoping Trump doesn’t win re-election. That’s not the same thing as direct election interference. Unless there’s more to this story, likening China’s position to Russia’s active measures is a terrible false equivalency
Well it should all even out then.
and from the GOP SENATE
The AP shouldn't act like China & Iran is the same thing as Russia. DEMS need to be united and as long as they don't reveal sources & method. All informed DEM official should igore Trump's BS classified POLITICAL move. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THIS TIME MUST KNOW IT'S HAPPENING
It says China and Iran oppose Trump. Why be dishonest?
Does this mean you're a Chinese bot if you support Biden?
Shouldn't that be considered an act of war?
Joe Biden’s severe cognitive decline would seem to make him the obvious choice of both Russia and China.
I just hope whoever losses doesn't blame it on a foreign government. Democrats still believe that Russia is the reason why they didn't win in 2016. They'll blame everybody but themselves for losing.
Really? China rolls over Hong Kong and Tibet, builds concentration camps and expands its military while handing nuclear technology to the Saudis. Trump bans dance videos and the base thinks he’s done something. This is theater
JamesCh31927690 Iran and China both view this deal as a strategic partnership in not just expanding their own interests but confronting the U.S.,”
I seal my votes with a prayer always. My vote cannot be stolen. I sealed my vote with God and then minions.
They all want trump to win so our country will be 'led' by an incompetent moron. TrumpIsACompleteFailure
Trump will only agree that China is trying to interfer with our elections, he will say he talked to Putin & Russia will not interfere with our elections.,Trump the liar & schemer
If Trump wins the left won’t accept the results of the election. If Biden wins you won’t hear about this ever again. Thats how the left rolls. They cry and whine until they get their way.
KnowTheFlipSide Tough shit. If Americans are dumb enough, and they are, to be pushed to one side or another by the internet... we deserve what we get.
It is alarming people hate Trump so much that they are willing to ignore Chinese and Iranian election interference well calling out Russian. They are blinded by their hatred and will do anything to beat the object of their hatred. China is a bigger threat then Russia to everyone.
The embodiment of capitalism is to maintain that every industrialized nation run by a despot has a say in your election. Congrats USA...
So Americans are now in the entirely on unamerican position of rooting for either Russia or China to win their candidate for them?
Putting out media is not the same as rigging ffs. If people are to stupid to believe whatever they see it’s their own fault. You can’t stop “misinformation” or free speech
Have a close look at this global broadcast please.
So China is pretending to be a Democrat, while Russia is pretending to be whatever party trump belongs, because he never has been a Republican. Let’s hope that the majority of American voters are able to decide who to vote for without outside help/interference. 🤞
hdevreij ... not to mention the threat posed by a certain Mr. Trump
The U.S. is a cookie jar and all the worlds authoritarians, putin and russia, China and Iran have their grubby little fingers in it all at the same time.
as if I would believe a trump stooge. wake up America. Nap time is over and your little blankie will not protect you.
Why can't we have outdoor voting? Can't they set up outdoor polling stations? Mail-in voting seems so untrustworthy. Too much room for human error. Outdoor voting would be so much better.
I’m with China on this one
Lol, China knows Biden will help them. Russia knows Trump will favor them. Both candidates are terribly corrupt.
With the fight Trump is having on Tariffs with China and Iran with them calling American, Imperialist Dogs, bit iffy. Russia i can see that..
We should all just stay home this year and let China and Russia sort out who our next president will be.
So different countries have preferences on who should run the most powerful nation on this planet. Shocker. We just need to make sure they don’t find a way to get into our election system, again.
Doing nothing about election interference so that we double election interference and cancel out the effect. Checkmate, nerds!
Very true.
Define interference please, it can bloody well mean anything.
Binder. Doesn't need help to denigrate his campaign he does that well by talking.
Everyone in the reasonable world is hoping Trump doesn’t win! I’d vote for Thatcher if Trump was the alternative in the uk tomorrow.
TrueTheVote The 'famous' AP is run by a bunch of alcoholics just like Tass, BBC, Reuters. If you need a 'journalist' check the nearest bar.

I'd be shocked if this even gets addressed by this administration, but you know Tik-Tock is important 🙄
Must be fun to know that the former greatest country on earth can't defend itself and is so stupid that it can be easily manipulated. AmericasGreatestMistake AmericaOrTrump VoteBlue2020 VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
That makes 1.6 billion of us.
They assess that China has overtly issued public statements disagreeing with Trump, while Russia has again taken covert actions to boost Trump's reelection.
