A heavily redacted government report presents 2023 information about PRC-linked discussion of the 2024 U.S. elections, voter-registration data, and swing states, while obscuring the actors, methods, authority, and most source context.
The report’s visible key point links a redacted PRC subject to targeting the 2024 U.S. elections. Its analysis separately says it was unknown whether the redacted participants had been instructed to do so, leaving direction and authority unresolved.
“to target the 2024 US elections.”
“It is unknown if”
A visible detail says the shared material included voter-registration information from a named but anonymized U.S. state entity. The redactions prevent identification of the state, sender, recipient, acquisition method, or intended use.
“voter registration information from Named US state entity 1 (US-1).”
The report’s analyst assessed that an unidentified election reference almost certainly meant the 2024 U.S. congressional or presidential elections. A separate request for a swing-state list was assessed as almost certainly referring to U.S. electoral swing states and as suggesting discussion of the 2024 presidential election; these are labeled analytic interpretations rather than disclosed operational facts.
“This is a reference to an unidentified 2024 election, almost certainly the 2024 US Congressional or Presidential elections.”
“This is almost certainly a reference to US electoral swing states, suggesting their discussion is regarding the 2024 US Presidential election.”
