In Donald Trump’s speech last night, he said China hacked 220 million voter records, including names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and party preference.

I’ll leave it to the forensic experts to determine if this claim is true, false, likely or unlikely.  But Americans should know this kind of data can be purchased today by any American with a credit card.  There are data brokers who sell information like this all day long for as little as 3 cents per record.

This “they’ve got our information” cat has been out of the bag for years. If China could somehow change vote totals inside our vote counting machines, that would be worth freaking out about.  But that’s not what Trump is actually alleging.
