FBI Uncovers China's 2020 Mail-In Ballot Scheme: 20,000 Fake IDs Seized

FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed evidence of China's 2020 election meddling, involving 20,000 counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses seized at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. These IDs, primarily from China and Hong Kong, were intended to facilitate fraudulent mail-in voting.
The seized licenses, many bearing identical photos with varied personal details, targeted college-aged individuals. This raises questions about the security of mail-in ballots and the potential for foreign interference in U.S. elections.
Despite the volume of fake IDs, officials found no direct evidence linking them to successful voter fraud, leaving the extent of the scheme's impact uncertain.
