Russia, Russia, Russia!
Sources told CNN that the Biden-Harris administration has plans to accuse Russia of trying to sway the 2024 election:
It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.RT, the Russian state media network, is a major focus of the US announcement, the sources said. US officials see the Russian outlet as a key piece of Kremlin propaganda efforts.The Russian disinformation operation is being laundered through both Americans and non-American voices, four of the sources said.Taken together, the actions would be the Biden administration’s most significant public response yet to alleged Russian influence operations targeting American voters. After the US accused Iran of trying to hack both the Trump and Biden-Harris campaigns last month, Wednesday’s expected actions are a reminder that US officials continue to see Russia as a prominent foreign influence threat to November’s election, the sources said.
The administration will supposedly slap more sanctions on the Social Design Agency. The Treasury Department already accused the company of “running fake news sites in Europe on behalf of the Russian government.”
If Trump wins, the Democrats can point to these actions and scream FRAUD! If Harris wins, the Democrats will boast they stopped Russia from returning Trump to the White House.
It’s all about misinformation instead of hacking, though. I’m guessing the Democrats will try to force social media platforms to suppress supposed fake news:
But any foreign or domestic attempts to sow discord during the US election and shape voters’ opinions don’t change the fact that the voting process is very difficult to tamper with and protected by layers of defenses. There is no evidence of successful efforts — foreign or domestic —to swing an American election by changing vote tallies.
