Security Officials: Russia Trying to Meddle in Election, Target Swing States

Security Officials: Russia Trying to Meddle in Election, Target Swing States

THERE IT IS!

These security officials have officially planted the seeds to cast doubt on a Donald Trump victory.

Russia, Russia, Russia!

Does this mean the right can latch onto this report if VP Kamala Harris wins? That’s a rhetorical question, of course.

Here’s a statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA):

Since our statement on Friday, the IC has been observing foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, conducting additional influence operations intended to undermine public confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections and stoke divisions among Americans. The IC expects these activities will intensify through election day and in the coming weeks, and that foreign influence narratives will focus on swing states.

Russia is the most active threat. Influence actors linked to Russia in particular are manufacturing videos and creating fake articles to undermine the legitimacy of the election, instill fear in voters regarding the election process, and suggest Americans are using violence against each other due to political preferences, judging from information available to the IC. These efforts risk inciting violence, including against election officials. We anticipate Russian actors will release additional manufactured content with these themes through election day and in the days and weeks after polls close.

I am crying from laughing so hard.

It’s precious how these people made sure to emphasize swing states. I mean, we already know that some swing states said it could take days to find out who won the state.

I find it hard to believe anything about Russia coming from this administration:

• The IC assesses that Russian influence actors recently posted and amplified an article falsely claiming that U.S. officials across swing states plan to orchestrate election fraud using a range of tactics, such as ballot stuffing and cyber attacks.
• Russian influence actors also manufactured and amplified a recent video that falsely depicted an interview with an individual claiming election fraud in Arizona, which involved creating fake overseas ballots and changing voter rolls to favor Vice President Kamala Harris. The Arizona Secretary of State has already refuted the video’s claim as false.
