This is the analysis of the data presented in the President’s address on July 16 by a reliable and honest (my opinion) commentator on X, Mike Bski. He explains what was alleged, and what he believes to be the truth based upon his own examination of the unclassified documents. Here is the link to his original post, for those who are X members:

This is a very long post. I am posting this out of order by starting with the conclusion, for those who want to take their time reading the entire assessment.
— THE BOTTOM LINE —
Here is what I know, stated as simply as I can state it.
Four hostile nations had the documented capability to reach into American election systems, and our government knew it in January 2020. More than 200 million voter files — including a database flagging which of us are veterans — are in the hands of the People’s Republic of China, and a chunk of it was legally purchased off a commercial website. Election officials invited a federal agency in and that agency took full network control of their systems within hours. Ballot marking devices encoded your vote in a barcode you could not read and a researcher proved the barcode could be changed remotely. Certification rules forbid patching known holes before an election. An NSA analyst wrote down that a Presidential Daily Brief was deliberately massaged to avoid an elections link. A report was recalled and the stated reason, five separate times in one file, was that it contradicted the FBI Director’s testimony to Congress. Ninety-one out of one hundred and seven voter registration applications in Muskegon, Michigan belonged to human beings who do not exist, and one of them lived in a park, and the Justice Department slow-walked it for four years and then wrote the paperwork to make the kill look like the agent’s own idea. And DHS says a quarter million non-citizens and four hundred thousand dead people are on the rolls, and a judge turned off the tool the states were using to find them.
And what the record does NOT show — and I will say it as loudly as I said all of the above — is that anybody changed the count.
Both of those paragraphs are true. Anyone who will only tell you one of them is selling you something.
The system is not defensible. It is not auditable. It cannot answer the most basic question a self-governing people can ask, which is: who voted, and were they allowed to?
That is not a conspiracy theory. That is a lab report where the instrument was never calibrated, the controls were never run, the raw data was purchased by a foreign government, and the technician who raised his hand got sent back to his desk twice — and wrote it down both times.
When the data does not match, you do not change the data. You investigate the methodology.
We have been arguing about the data for six years.
Try the methodology.
I Read Every Declassified File From July 16th. Here Is What They Actually Say — And Where I Have To Correct My Own Side.

On the evening of July 16, 2026, the President of the United States addressed the nation from the White House and announced the immediate declassification of intelligence covering five areas of American election security. NBC declined to carry it live. ABC declined to carry it live. NBC News NOW ran it on a streaming channel and promised a special report afterward, which is the television equivalent of telling your wife you will get to the garage this weekend.
Senator Bernie Moreno — my senator, Ohio, the one I have been writing letters to about combat-wounded veterans — posted before the speech that this might be the most important Oval Office address since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
That is a large claim. I do not hand out large claims for free.
So I did what I do. I downloaded the tranches. All of them. Then I sat at my kitchen table in Medina until the coffee went cold and read them against each other, the way you read a lab report when a student’s numbers came out a little TOO clean.
I am going to give you everything. Every document. Every page cite I could recover. And then I am going to do the thing that almost nobody in this fight is willing to do, on either side.
I am going to tell you where the evidence stops.
Because here is the part that the people screaming at each other on your timeline have not figured out yet: the honest version of this story is DEVASTATING. The exaggerated version is a gift to the other team. Every time someone stretches this record past what it can carry, the fact-checkers get an easy layup, the whole thing gets labeled debunked, and the eleven things that are absolutely true get buried underneath the one thing that was not.
I have been teaching science for a long time. When your data is strong, you do not need to help it. Helping it is how you lose.
Let us go.
