Foreign adversaries will try to shake Americans’ confidence in the legitimacy of election results in November by giving voice to false claims or spreading their own disinformation about ballot counting, U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday.
“As we approach Election Day, the intelligence community is also stressing that foreign efforts to undermine America’s democracy won’t end on Nov. 5,” a senior intelligence official told reporters in a virtual briefing.
In its latest assessment of foreign threats to the election, intelligence officials said the main foreign powers seeking to shape the outcome of the vote — Russia, China and Iran — also were focusing on meddling in congressional and state races.

As will domestic adversaries.
So how do we combat that?
Prosecute them for the crimes that they have committed in broad daylight and publish the evidence widely. Further, prosecute a hybrid war against the adversary states that sponsor and incite domestic threats, with the goal of totally dismantling adversary governments by any and all means short of kinetic warfare.
It’s them or us. The choice is ours.
Conservatives are already planning to use the hurricanes as a reason to not certify the election results. They will be pushing the decision to Congress. This is why they are acting so smug right now.
The only question I have is, "will there be a physical intervention in this final gasp of democracy?" I worry modern progressives may not be violent enough to do what's needed.
I think we were very foolish to declare the cold war over, and ourselves the victor, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some even declared it to be the end of history. There's only one word for that: hubris. In reality, history continued on, and the war of ideology remains ongoing, albeit changed.
Yeah Putin's playbook is basically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics, the US playbook to topple and control foreign governments remains unchanged, and now there are new players in the sandbox that want to control other nations. The war of ideology is very much at its peak.
I have a conspiracy hypothesis that Putin played a role in 9/11 and Russian influence was behind at least some of the "coincidences" that gave some of the conspiracy theories credibility. Pushing those conspiracy theories might have been one of the early Russian troll farm missions, too.
Every accusation is a confession...
When Trump steals the election libs are going to accuse me of being a Russian bot for saying the election was stolen.
Is that the plan? Will be a pleasant change from seeing you campaigning for Donald every day. I guess you would be accused of being a Russian bot as soon as you are able to openly support the invasion of Ukraine.
Instead of wasting your time being mad at leftists for not voting for genocide, you should be paying attention to the election """reforms""" passed by election deniers. Georgia in particular has been turned from a swing state into a guaranteed steal for Trump.
When the election is stolen by Trump you'd better focus on fighting back against him instead of stupid infighting.
Politics doesn't only happen when you vote every few years. Be prepared to actually work with people to stop Trump after the election is over, and that's going to include people who voted Green or PSL or stayed home.
Does uhh.....Cuba have a big Internet hacker infrastructure?
